Bucharest, July 22, 2025 – Nova Power & Gas, a Romanian energy company and part of the E-INFRA Group, announces the launch of the largest battery energy storage project in Romania.
Romania is aiming to have at least 2.5 GW of energy storage installed by the end of next year and to exeed 5 GW only a year later. From ESS News According to Romanian Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja, the country’s energy storage fleet is expected to grow exponentially over the next couple of years.
From ESS News According to Romanian Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja, the country’s energy storage fleet is expected to grow exponentially over the next couple of years. “In total, at the end of next year we should have storage capacities of at least 2,500 MW, and by 2026 we should exceed 5,000 MW.
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.
Burduja has also called for investments in energy storage, the lack of which he sees as one of the reasons behind high energy prices in Romania today, noting that the Ministry of Energy is making funding available for this purpose.
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.
“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.
