Battery storage project pipeline in Romania in rapid expansion
State-owned Hidroelectrica, the largest electricity producer in Romania, wants to install a battery storage system at Iron Gate 2 (Porțile de Fier 2) on the Danube. Located on
To achieve this goal, the Romanian government will conduct both tenders through competitive bidding. A total of €79.6 million is allocated for the battery energy storage project. €199 million will be spent on related manufacturing capacity. Of this amount, €149.25 million will be used for new cell production, assembly and recycling facilities.
On 8 February, the Ministry of Energy of Romania announced the re-launch of its tender for battery energy storage projects and investments in the manufacturing sector for the production of energy storage equipment and solar panels.
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).
