Romania was a major player in the solar power industry, installing in the 1970s and 1980s around 800,000 m 2 (8,600,000 sq ft) of low quality solar collectors that placed the country third
The total funding available for the BESS projects is €79.6 million (or US$85.7 million). This call for tender has been relaunched after an initial launch in 2023, which was expected to select projects by the end of 2023.
In a decisive move to support its clean energy transition, Romania has overhauled a key regulatory barrier holding back investment in energy storage. The National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) announced
On 8 February, the Ministry of Energy of Romania announced the re-launch of its tender for battery energy storage projects and investments in the manufacturing sector for
The Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association (RPIA) says Romania installed 1.7 GW of solar in 2024, as increased funding, higher renewable targets, and a streamlined permitting process drove
Romania aims to have at least 2.5 GW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in operation by next year and to surpass 5 GW of capacity by 2026 under a plan that is seen to help it cope with high energy
The EBRD has signed a memorandum of understanding with Romania to support the rollout of new renewable power auctions in the country.
Romania invests nearly EUR 70 million in solar and battery storage, fueling a sustainable future with major projects like a 1.5-GW solar factory and crucial energy storage
Ingka Investments, the investment arm of Ingka Group, acquires 300MWp ready-to-build solar PV park in Romania as part of its commitment towards a renewable energy future. The total investment in the

The Romanian Energy Ministry has signed contracts to distribute close to EUR 70 million (USD 76.3m) in grant funding that will support the construction of a 1.5-GW solar panel manufacturing plant and five large-scale
In April, Romania''s largest battery storage system, of 24 MWh, was put into operation. It is the first phase of a project totaling 216 MWh. The facility is connected to the Mireasa wind farm of 50 MW, while a 35 MW solar
This NRRP sets out the reforms and public investment projects that Romania intends to implement with the support of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). In total,
Monsson has submitted a 2GWh BESS project in Romania for approval, which an executive said will use its own patented energy storage solution.
A synthetic overview of the present state and estimated developments of the large scale PV projects in Romania We monitor over 850 factsheets of larger than 5 MW utility scale PV projects Each description includes the project size,
Meanwhile, the remaining €49.75 million is intended for new projects in Romania that would add solar PV cell and module (panel) production, assembly and recycling capacity to the tune of at least 200MW per year by mid-2026.
As of the latest data available, there are over 880 large‐scale PV projects in Romania, boasting a cumulative capacity of approximately 46,600 MW. This impressive number showcases the country's commitment to harnessing solar energy as a clean and sustainable source of power.
Under the Romanian law, the following permits, approval, certificates, authorisations are required for the development and operation of a solar farm having more than 1 MW installed capacity. The first step in developing a solar plant project in Romania is to secure a title over the land.
Arad (5.40 GW) and Dolj (5.39 GW) are the most promising locations, but counties such as Giurgiu (4), Bihor (3.8), Teleorman (2.6), Timis (2.3) and Dambovita (2.3) also stand out in this respect. This geographical diversity highlights the potential for solar energy development across Romania.
Romania is located in an area with a solar potential of 210 sunny days per year and with an annual solar energy flux between 1,000 kWh/m²/year and 1,300 kWh/m²/year. From this total amount, around 600 to 800 kWh/m²/year is technically feasible. Chart 1: Solar Resource Map of Romania; Sources: World Bank Group, ESMAP, SolarGis
Romania has very good solar resource potential as the geographical location is favourable for utilising solar energy. Romania is located in an area with a solar potential of 210 sunny days per year and with an annual solar energy flux between 1,000 kWh/m²/year and 1,300 kWh/m²/year.
