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.
Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja reportedly declared at a conference that Romania's storage requirement is 4,000MWh, and that half would be covered by BESS and half by pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) technology.
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).
On July 8th, Romania''s Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) officially approved new regulations abolishing double taxation on battery energy storage systems (BESS). The move aims to
