The Ministry of Energy has recently announced a call for proposals to support Romania''s battery and solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing sectors, worth €199 million and funded through the NRRP.
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 production of energy storage equipment and solar panels.
To achieve this goal, the Romanian government will conduct both tenders through competitive bidding. A total of €79.6 million is allocated for the battery energy storage project. €199 million will be spent on related manufacturing capacity. Of this amount, €149.25 million will be used for new cell production, assembly and recycling facilities.
If Romania can gain an advantage in the energy storage battery and photovoltaic industry and attract industrial capital from inside and outside the EU to invest in this field, it will help the EU to realise an autonomous and controllable sustainable energy supply chain.
