Romania's battery storage market is gaining momentum, but it's not yet ready for takeoff. A recent Aurora Energy Research report reveals strong investor interest and promising early projects, but also highlights some regulatory gaps and unclear market access.
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.
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).
Economica.net learned that the battery storage facility would have 5 MW and a two-hour duration, costing the firm EUR 2 million. Engie's project was included in the reserve list last September after a public call for support to battery storage. The Ministry of Energy selected 13 applications for grants from NRRP.
