Big things ahead for Romanian BESS investments
Romania''s energy minister said the country is targeting 3 GWh over the next few years. The BESS market in Romania is heating up, say local analysts and insiders.
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.
With roughly 100 MW of operational capacity — mostly pilot projects run by a few companies — the market is still nascent. Yet Romania now is one of the most promising battery capacity market in Southeastern Europe, said Filippos Falieros, Advisory Project Leader with Aurora Energy Research. What sets Romania apart is not infrastructure, but timing.
Romania's energy minister Sebastian Burduja said in early April that the country has increased its battery capacity to almost 400 MWh, from just 8 MWh a year ago.
“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.
