The projects must focus on building new energy storage capacities in Romania," the minister stated. According to the minister, as quoted by ZF.ro, the total budget for this state aid scheme is €150 million in non-reimbursable funds sourced from the Modernization Fund.
Today, the Minister of Energy, Sebastian Burduja, announced on Facebook that an additional €150 million will be invested in Romania’s energy sector. "I am pleased to announce that the Ministry of Energy is launching a new call for projects financed through the Modernization Fund, aimed at investments in energy storage capacities (batteries).
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.
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.
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.
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.
