Other Romania-based companies, such as Parapet and Waldevar Energy, have told pv magazine that adding BESS to their renewable assets is a top priority. The May edition of pv magazine features an in-depth look at Romania’s solar and energy storage markets.
Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja signing 24 financing contracts for self-consumption solar and storage projects, worth nearly €14 million. Image: Ministry of Energy. A 204MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Romania can progress after the government said it did not need to go through an environmental impact assessment (EIA).
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.
According to local reports, the government plans to allocate funding from the Modernisation Fund to support the deployment of energy storage at wind and solar PV plants covering 25% of the plants’ output capacity.
The BESS market in Romania is heating up, say local analysts and insiders. Irene Mihai, policy officer at the Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association (RPIA) recently told pv magazine that a realistic target for the utility-scale BESS segment in Romania “would be around 2 GWh (around 1 GW of installed capacity)” for 2030.
The project would be many times larger than the largest BESS online in Romania today, a 6MW/24MWh system from developer and independent power producer (IPP) Monsson (Premium access article).
