Greece-based PPC Group, SouthEast European electric utility, has started building a Colosseum project which is a 165 MW solar plant with a 25 MW battery system in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. The plant used 260,000 panels and aimed to produce 265 GWh of power each year, helping to avoid 133,000 tons of CO₂. A new substation would connect it to the grid. The battery system used LFP technology for better safety and use. This project added to PPC’s 18 MW wind farm in Bulgaria. The company had 208 MW of renewable projects running or being built, and another 550 MW in progress. In Italy, two solar plants with a total of 32 MW started working in late 2024. In Romania, PPC reached 1.3 GW across 25 renewable and battery projects. The company planned to add 6.3 GW more by 2027, aiming for a total of 11.8 GW, with most of it already under way.
