Romania's Battery Storage Projects Exceed 9 GW Capacity
Romania's battery energy storage system projects have surpassed 9 GW, with over 2 GW set to be operational by 2026. The surge in storage capacity is driven by the growing demand from the renewable energy sector and price volatility in the electricity market.

Romania's total of 143 battery storage projects, representing 9,147 MW of capacity, are currently in advanced development stages. Of these, 36 projects totaling 2,050 MW are expected to begin operations this year.
As of the end of 2025, Romania had approximately 600 MW of installed battery storage capacity, indicating significant investment activity. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) noted Romania's high revenue potential for battery storage, estimating average daily earnings of EUR 792 per MW. This is driven by the country's growing renewable energy sector and the planned commissioning of 647 renewable projects between 2026 and 2035, which will necessitate increased storage capacity to balance electricity supply and demand.
