By the end of this year, the number of filling stations equipped with photovoltaic panels in expected to increase to 150 units, thus covering around 30% of the OMV and Petrom branded filling stations in Romania.

The estimated annual production of the photovoltaic panels will be 2,700 MWh, which is equivalent to the annual power needed for 1,500 apartments. OMV Petrom has set out to achieve carbon neutrality for its own operations by 2050 and to contribute to the decarbonisation process of its customers. To generate new projects with low and zero carbon emissions, the company will invest EUR 3.7 billion out of its EUR 11 billion plan until 2030.
