Battery storage project pipeline in Romania in rapid expansion
Recent updates about investments in battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Romania indicate the technology is becoming another pillar of the country''s energy transition
Recent updates about investments in battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Romania indicate the technology is becoming another pillar of the country's energy transition alongside wind power. For several years now, photovoltaics, and prosumers in particular – including municipal authorities, have dominated the scene.
The investment wave, supported by key regulatory changes, is elevating Romania in the European energy landscape. Leading the development is Nova Power & Gas, part of the Romanian E-Infra Group, which has unveiled plans for the nation's largest battery project to date.
It is about to start building the BESS in Scornicești in Olt county, west of Bucharest. R.Power is planning to complete it in a year. The battery energy storage system would have a duration of two hours, translating to 254 MWh in capacity. The project received funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP or, in Romanian, PNRR).
This single project will double Romania's current installed storage capacity of 398.8 MWh, a figure that comes from transmission system operator Transelectrica, and mentioned by Romania's energy minister Sebastian Burduja in April, 2025.
