For the European energy storage ecosystem, Romania's move is strategically significant. It sets a precedent for neighboring countries where outdated tariff structures still hinder the rollout of commercial and industrial ESS solutions.
This policy shift aligns Romania more closely with EU energy goals, where battery storage is increasingly recognized as an enabler of grid flexibility, renewable integration, and energy security.
Romania's elimination of double taxation on energy storage is more than a technical adjustment—it's a strategic inflection point. By aligning its regulatory framework with market realities, the country is removing one of the last structural barriers to widespread BESS adoption.
This step improves regulatory transparency, another key factor investors consider when committing capital. Romania's ambitions for energy storage are growing rapidly. The country plans to install 5 GW of battery energy storage capacity by 2026, a massive leap from its current level, which reached around 400 MWh as of April 2025.
