Bucșani is a commune located in Giurgiu County, Muntenia, Romania. It is composed of seven villages: Anghelești, Bucșani, Goleasca, Obedeni, Podișor, Uiești, and Vadu Lat.

## Geography

[edit]

The commune is situated in the Wallachian Plain, at an altitude of 90 m (300 ft), on the banks of the rivers Dâmbovnic and Ilfovăț. It is located in the northern part of Giurgiu County, 130 km (81 mi) north of the county seat, Giurgiu, on the border with Teleorman County. The city of Bucharest is 70 km (43 mi) to the southeast, while Târgoviște is 20 km (12 mi) to the northwest and Ploiești is 38 km (24 mi) to the east.

The Vadu Lat and Anghelești train stations serve the CFR Main Line 900, which connects Bucharest with the western city of Timișoara.

## Economy

[edit]

The Bucșani Solar Park is a large thin-film photovoltaic power system, built on a 24 ha (59 acres) plot of land in the commune. The solar park is projected to extend over a surface of 130 ha (320 acres), reaching a production capacity of 130MW by 2027.[2]

The BRUA pipeline is a natural gas pipeline from Podișor to Recaș, Timiș County, part of the planned Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Austria gas interconnector. The pipeline is projected to extend to Tuzla, 308.3 km (191.6 mi) to the east, on the Black Sea seashore, thereby connecting the gas extracted from the Neptun Deep gas field to the BRUA corridor.[3]

The 112nd SAM Battalion of the 1st Surface to Air Missiles Brigade is also located in Bucșani.
