Romania''s Energy Storage: Assessment of Potential and Regulatory Framework (December 2020) Storage technologies can make a decisive contribution to improving the grid flexibility as they offer unique functions, such as the possibility of decoupling electricity production from the time of consumption, as well as add virtually instantaneous frequency stabilisation response
The transmission and system operator says that, in the context of the renewable energy targets that Romania has assumed, a shock capacity of up to 4,000 MW is needed, which can be functional for a very long period of time – up to every 12 hours, with an energy of up to 20,000 MWh, and, in addition to batteries, Transelectrica
Romania''s energy market is taking important steps towards the integration of renewable energy, and Monsson''s plan to develop a massive new electricity storage power plant in Constanța county is a key moment.

The project attempts to assess the current technical potential, regulatory framework, and estimated investment needs for commercially mature energy storage facilities in Romania, while also analysing the potential of different storage technologies, considering the domestic context.
In its first, the Romanian government has allocated EU funds for two major battery energy storage projects via its National Recovery and Resilience Plan. A utility-scale solar-plus-storage site in the country''s northwest has flipped the switch. Meanwhile, the nation''s landmark pumped storage project has attracted Japan''s Itochu and France
Based on its renewable energy potential and considering the national energy sector''s current characteristics – generation assets, interconnections, market design, regulatory landscape – Romanian authorities should plan for increased deployment of storage technologies. This report analyses the potential of some of the main energy storage

Romania aims to exponentially grow its energy storage fleet over the next couple of years, as it works on its plan to deliver 36% of the nation''s energy to come from renewables by 2030, with 8.3 GW of solar and 7.6 GW of wind, and phase out coal by 2032. Earlier this year, Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja said the country should have have at
In contrast, the investments outlined in Romania''s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) do not ensure a decarbonised energy sector by 2040. The Romanian power sector would emit 9.2 MtCO2 in 2030 (which can be halved in a lower-gas scenario) and 3.5 MtCO2 in 2040, at slightly higher wholesale electricity prices. Replacing natural gas with hydrogen in
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).

Romania aims to have at least 2.5 GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in operation by next year and to surpass 5 GW of capacity by 2026 under a plan that is seen to help it cope with high energy prices.
Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States. The amount of renewable energy capacity added to energy systems around the world grew by 50% in 2023, reaching almost 510 gigawatts. In this rapidly evolving
The Minister of Energy signed, on October 17, two financing contracts through Investment 4.3 and a contract through Investment 4.2 from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), aimed at developing electricity storage capacities and promoting investments in the cell value chain and photovoltaic panels. Sebastian Burduja, Minister of Energy: "This
To be able to invest in renewable energy capacities, the Romanian energy sector must first address its network adequacy issues. Increased storage capacity can contribute to overcoming this challenge, especially by increasing grid flexibility. Regardless of technology, energy storage will bring economic, structural and operational advantages.
The project attempts to assess the current technical potential, regulatory framework, and estimated investment needs for commercially mature energy storage facilities in Romania,
Finland and Greece are also using the funding pot to support energy storage projects. Romania is currently targetting 30.7% renewable generation in its electricity mix by 2030. The country hasn''t had many utility-scale energy storage projects in recent years but a booming solar market is set to help the battery storage follow on. As covered in the most recent edition
The EnerC+ container is a battery energy storage system (BESS) that has four main components: batteries, battery management systems (BMS), fire suppression systems (FSS), and thermal management systems (TMS).

Based on the EU context and planning a significant uptake of renewable energy sources in its electricity mix over the following decades, Romania must also develop a strategy for the deployment of energy storage technologies.
Other storage technologies, particularly those based on mechanical or kinetic energy, such as compressed air storage (CAES) and flywheels, will likely not play a major role in the Romanian energy sector in the short to medium-term and can, at most, be limited to niche applications requiring long-term storage.
In response to EU Regulation 2019/943, which clarifies the role of storage and its ownership status, the Romanian authorities transposed in Law 155/2020 (amending Energy Law 123/2012) specific provisions related to new storage facilities and their management rules.
One example is Romania’s NECP, which at first did not address storage technology. The updated version of 2020 was marginally improved in this respect, listing ‘developing storage capacities’ as an instrument to improve energy security, but lacking detail on the storage capacity to be developed until 2030.
The Romanian energy system is currently highly dependent fossil fuels, centralised, and to a good extent technically obsolete, being in serious need of overhaul in order to sustain the upcoming energy transition.
The currently available options for financing hydrogen technologies, as well as the unprecedented level of support for them at EU level, make it into one of the most attractive prospects for the Romanian energy sector in the next years.
