Romania exports BESS household energy storage

Is Romania a Bess market?

“As other European BESS markets become increasingly saturated, Romania stands out,” said Evangelos Gazis, Aurora’s head of Southeastern Europe, adding that the investment case for storage is strengthened by wind and solar’s rapid expansion driving high volatility in wholesale and balancing markets.

Which Romanian companies are adding Bess to their renewable assets?

Other Romania-based companies, such as Parapet and Waldevar Energy, have told pv magazine that adding BESS to their renewable assets is a top priority. The May edition of pv magazine features an in-depth look at Romania’s solar and energy storage markets.

Is the Bess market heating up in Romania?

The BESS market in Romania is heating up, say local analysts and insiders. Irene Mihai, policy officer at the Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association (RPIA) recently told pv magazine that a realistic target for the utility-scale BESS segment in Romania “would be around 2 GWh (around 1 GW of installed capacity)” for 2030.

Are energy storage technologies commercially available in Romania?

This study investigated the feasibility of energy storage technologies that are commercially available on the Romanian market by using the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) method. The proposed approach also considers subsidies and different battery energy storage system’ (BESS) technical parameters.

What is Romania's energy storage requirement?

Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja reportedly declared at a conference that Romania’s storage requirement is 4,000MWh, and that half would be covered by BESS and half by pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) technology.

Does Romania have a favourable policy landscape for energy storage?

Aurora’s analysis points to Romania’s favourable policy landscape for energy storage solidified by the NECP target of 1.2 GW of BESS by 2030 as well as the scheduling of support schemes for storage assets. At the same time, fundamentals appear attractive for merchant deployment which can complement the initial policy driven buildout.
