What is Enery doing in Romania?This week, Vienna-based Enery has commissioned a major solar and storage site in northwestern Romania. The project consists of a 51.4 MW PV plant and and a battery energy storage facility of 22 MWh.
What is Romania's most important energy project?Earlier this month, Burduja reported progress on what he terms as “the most important project for the Romanian energy system” – the 1 GW Tarnița-Lăpuștești pumped storage hydropower plant. Romania resumed the development of the project last year, upping the planned capacity from 500 MW to 1 GW.
Does Romania have a battery energy storage plan?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.
How will Romania grow its energy storage fleet?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.
Is a re-industrialised and energy-secure Europe within reach?A re-industrialised and energy-secure Europe is within reach!” Prime Batteries CEO Vicentiu Ciobanu said the project would be increased to 216MWh in 2025.
