Romania Allocates €150M for Battery Storage Expansion
This financing will be allocated through a competitive bidding process managed by the Ministry of Energy, targeting projects that can store electricity from wind, solar, and hydropower
Meanwhile, the remaining €49.75 million is intended for new projects in Romania that would add solar PV cell and module (panel) production, assembly and recycling capacity to the tune of at least 200MW per year by mid-2026.
In an accelerating investment wave, companies in Romania are combining BESS with solar power, hydropower and wind power, or building standalone energy storage facilities. The group includes R.Power, Hidroelectrica, Engie and more big names.
Battery storage makes up 17.5 GW or more than half of its total development pipeline in Europe. The company said it would hybridize its existing and future PV assets and scale the integrated capacity to several gigawatts in the coming years. It has over 1.2 GW of projects for standalone BESS in Romania.
The battery energy storage system project is for 20 MW in operating power and 80 MWh. It would consist of 16 containers, 192 inverters and four transformer units. The wind park in Băleni will reportedly add a small BESS facility
