Battery storage pipeline exceeds 1 GW in Romania
French energy firm Engie is working on several projects, including a 20 MW, 80 MWh storage unit at its newest solar plant near Bucharest and a smaller facility at its Băleni
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.
He added that the Romanian government will commit €380 million from the National Recovery and Resilience Fund and the Modernisation Fund to building BESS, with the goal of exceeding 3 GWh in the coming years. Analyst Aurora Energy Research predicts BESS investments in Romania will reach into the billions before long.
Battery storage makes up 17.5 GW or more than half of its total development pipeline in Europe. The company said it would hybridize its existing and future PV assets and scale the integrated capacity to several gigawatts in the coming years. It has over 1.2 GW of projects for standalone BESS in Romania.
The BESS would have 64 MW in nominal power and a four-hour duration (256 MWh), Profit.ro reported. Hidroelectrica plans to use it for providing balancing services to the national electricity system (SEN) and adjust the time intervals of its hydropower production.
