204MW BESS project planned in Romania with Huawei technology
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
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.
Romania's battery storage market is gaining momentum, but it's not yet ready for takeoff. A recent Aurora Energy Research report reveals strong investor interest and promising early projects, but also highlights some regulatory gaps and unclear market access.
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).
