A solar project from developer Econergy in Romania. The country''s solar sector is set to grow substantially,which will help the battery storage market kick on. Image:
Romania is located in an area with a good solar potential of 210 sunny days per year and with an annual solar energy flux between 1,000 kWh /m 2 /year and 1,300 kWh/m 2 /year.
In 2024, Romania organized its first CfD tender for 1,5 GW, out of which 1 GW for wind projects and 500 MW for solar. In terms of participation, close to 50 companies took part in the process, with 21 being declared winners, with
Romania has opened its second renewables auction under a contracts-for-difference (CfD) scheme, offering 3.47 GW of capacity, including 1.47 GW of solar. The auction sets a maximum strike price of €73 ($81.81)/MWh for solar energy. Romania’s Ministry of Energy has announced its second renewables auction under a CfD scheme.
In the context of the European ambitions, Romania would need to aim for 44.4% RES, meaning 11.1 GW of solar - 6.1 GW for utility-scale and 5 GW for rooftop PV1. Drivers for solar growth The last two years have been marked by significant legislative changes that underpinned the development of the Romanian PV sector.
For rooftop PV, the budget for 2024 was 400 million EUR, and included, for the first time, storage. Through the updated National Energy and Climate Plan, Romania committed to reaching an installed capacity of 10 GW in solar PV, out of which 6,4 GW in utility-scale projects and 3,5 GW in prosumers.
National targets for solar PV With an average of 1,900 to 2,400 annual sunlight hours, Romania has significant natural potential for solar PV development. Yet, the country has not set ambitious targets for renewable energy sources, aiming for only 30.7% of its final energy consumption to come from RES by 2030.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
According to SolarPower Europe, the photovoltaic sector alone is projected to generate approximately 80,000 full-time jobs by 2030, positioning Romania among the top seven countries in this segment. Hence, it is necessary to invest in vocational training, encourage research and development, and support the skilling and reskilling programs.
