Expected ROI of factory solar storage project in Romania 2026

Why should Romania Invest in energy storage batteries and photovoltaics?

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.

How much will Romania spend on a battery energy storage project?

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.

How much money will Romania spend on solar projects?

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.

Will Romania re-launch a battery storage tender in 2026?

Romania's energy ministry has re-launched a competitive tender for battery storage projects, seeking to have at least 240MW/480MWh of energy storage facilities up and running by mid-2026. Meanwhile, another tender for the construction of an industrial chain for battery storage and solar panels will...

Which Romanian companies are adding Bess to their renewable assets?

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.

How many MW of battery energy will be available in 2026?

Project objective: to bring online, by 30 June 2026, at least 240 MW (or 480 MWh) of battery energy storage capacity and at least 2 GW per year of battery production, assembly and recycling capacity. In addition, a minimum of 200 MW/year of PV cell or panel production and/or assembly and recycling capacity is planned to be in operation.
