Romania wants mature projects that can be implemented quickly and that can help balance the system, he was quoted as saying. Romania has allocated EUR 80 million under its National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) for energy storage projects, which is expected to result in contracts for a total of 1.8 GW of capacity, according to Burduja.
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 original call, which referred to at least 620 MWh, was expected to see projects selected by the end of 2023, according to reports. In April, Romania's largest battery storage system, of 24 MWh, was put into operation. It is the first phase of a project totaling 216 MWh.
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).
