Introduction
Gabritsa Wind Park is one of the large-scale renewable energy projects which provides enough electricity to power around 142 000 homes and displaces 437 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
The park also brings economic benefits to the local municipalities – Hitrino and Venets, as well as to Shumen province, including the creation of new jobs during the stages of construction of the park and during its operation.

Over the past 15 years we invest in the field of sustainable development and energy transition, and we are currently developing a total of 2 000 MW of RES capacities in four countries in the region – Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Ukraine. This way we contribute to the provision of affordable green energy, accelerated replacement of expensive and polluting power plants and the reduction of dependence on oil and natural gas. Our company has realized more than 1 500 MW of projects in Europe and Australia with a total funding of over 3,5 billion euros, including the largest wind parks in Serbia (158 MW) and Romania (600 MW).
