Is Romania's battery storage market ready for takeoff?
Romania’s battery storage market is gaining momentum, but it’s not yet ready for takeoff. A recent Aurora Energy Research report reveals strong investor interest and promising early projects, but also highlights some regulatory gaps and unclear market access.
Why is battery storage important in Romania?
This policy shift aligns Romania more closely with EU energy goals, where battery storage is increasingly recognized as an enabler of grid flexibility, renewable integration, and energy security.
Is Romania a promising battery market in southeastern Europe?
With roughly 100 MW of operational capacity — mostly pilot projects run by a few companies — the market is still nascent. Yet Romania now is one of the most promising battery capacity market in Southeastern Europe, said Filippos Falieros, Advisory Project Leader with Aurora Energy Research. What sets Romania apart is not infrastructure, but timing.
Why is Romania removing double taxation on energy storage?
Romania’s elimination of double taxation on energy storage is more than a technical adjustment—it’s a strategic inflection point. By aligning its regulatory framework with market realities, the country is removing one of the last structural barriers to widespread BESS adoption.
Why should investors invest in energy storage in Romania?
This step improves regulatory transparency, another key factor investors consider when committing capital. Romania’s ambitions for energy storage are growing rapidly. The country plans to install 5 GW of battery energy storage capacity by , a massive leap from its current level, which reached around 400 MWh as of April .
How important is Romania's move to European energy storage?
For the European energy storage ecosystem, Romania’s move is strategically significant. It sets a precedent for neighboring countries where outdated tariff structures still hinder the rollout of commercial and industrial ESS solutions.
