Batteries, Storage, and the Romanian Gold Rush
Romania is quietly becoming one of Europe''s most exciting energy storage markets. By the end of 2025, the country aims to reach 2.5 GW of battery energy storage
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.
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).
The investment wave, supported by key regulatory changes, is elevating Romania in the European energy landscape. 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.
In an accelerating investment wave, companies in Romania are combining BESS with solar power, hydropower and wind power, or building standalone energy storage facilities. The group includes R.Power, Hidroelectrica, Engie and more big names.
