Romania Abolishes Double Taxation on Energy Storage,
On July 8th, Romania''s Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) officially approved new regulations abolishing double taxation on battery energy storage systems (BESS). The
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).
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.
Leading the development is Nova Power & Gas, part of the Romanian E-Infra Group, which has unveiled plans for the nation's largest battery project to date. The company will build a 400 MWh facility in Florești, Cluj county, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
This single project will double Romania's current installed storage capacity of 398.8 MWh, a figure that comes from transmission system operator Transelectrica, and mentioned by Romania's energy minister Sebastian Burduja in April, 2025.
