Most of the renewable electricity generation (RES) plants in operation or under development already include battery energy storage (BESS) capacity. 11 contracts have already been signed for funding under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). 15 other projects will get financial support from the Modernisation Fund in the first quarter of this year, under a call for projects open until 17 February, with a total budget of 150 million euros.

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).
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.
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.
At the beginning of 2025, Romania boasts approximately 3,000 MW in wind energy and 1,500 MW in solar energy. An additional 2,424 MW in wind and solar projects is expected to be operational in 2025, attracting over €2 billion in investments. Romania’s Energy Goals for 2030 Achieve over 32,000 MW in total capacity by 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. Interesting activity
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.

The hybrid energy storage configuration scheme is evaluated based on the annual comprehensive cost of the energy storage system (Lei et al. 2023). Based on balance control and dynamic optimisation algorithm, a method is described for hybrid energy storage capacity allocation in multi-energy systems.
It designs a capacity configuration for a hybrid energy storage system composed of pumped storage and battery storage.
Based on balance control and dynamic optimisation algorithm, a method is described for hybrid energy storage capacity allocation in multi-energy systems. Then, an energy storage optimisation plan is developed with the goal of minimizing the cost of the energy storage system and the power fluctuations of distributed sources (Wang et al. 2023).

Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) can support integrated energy system (IES) under multiple time scales. To address the diversity of new energy sources and loads, a multi-objective configuration frame for HESS is proposed under comprehensive source-load conditions.
Sensitivity analysis helps illustrate how system variables affect the overall performance of a system. In this study, the influence of several sensitive variables on the cost parameters of hybrid energy system was discussed through comprehensive sensitivity analysis.

We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.. We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.. As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to around $200 - $450 per kWh, though in some markets, prices have dropped as low as $150 per kWh.
