„The market context in which we find ourselves, marked by multiple events with economic impacts, such as rising energy prices, the war in Ukraine, and the continuous rise of inflation, determine more and more companies to move towards implementing green energy solutions. At Simtel, we have all the necessary resources to support companies that want to transition to green energy by installing photovoltaic power plants. We thank Carmistin Group for trusting our team in carrying out this project. We remain dedicated to our mission to make green energy a priority for Romania, and we strongly support the protection of the environment by streamlining energy consumption at the level of companies of all sizes”, stated Iulian Nedea, co-founder and CEO of Simtel Team.
