The aim of the scheme is to support investments in battery electricity storage facilities, allowing for a smooth integration of renewable energy coming from wind and solar sources in the Romanian power system. Under the scheme, the aid will take form of a direct grant to projects selected through a competitive bidding process.
Based on the EU context and planning a significant uptake of renewable energy sources in its electricity mix over the following decades, Romania must also develop a strategy for the deployment of energy storage technologies.
Following the positive assessment of the Romanian Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Commission has approved a €103 million Romanian scheme to support the construction of electricity storage facilities.
Such enhanced legislation is needed for implementing the Romanian National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which lists ‘developing storage capacities’ as an instrument to improve energy security but lacks detail on how storage technologies will be deployed until 2030.
In response to EU Regulation 2019/943, which clarifies the role of storage and its ownership status, the Romanian authorities transposed in Law 155/2020 (amending Energy Law 123/2012) specific provisions related to new storage facilities and their management rules.
With only one ETES large-scale facility currently operating in Hamburg, Germany, there is significant potential for replication. Versatility and scalability make ETES a solution for increased flexibility in the Romanian energy sector.
