Romania''s ambitious energy storage plans: 5 GW by end-2026
Romania expects its overall energy storage to amount to at least 2.5 GW in operating power at the end of 2025, and to expand to as much as 5 GW a year later, local media reported,
Romania wants mature projects that can be implemented quickly and that can help balance the system, he was quoted as saying. Romania has allocated EUR 80 million under its National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) for energy storage projects, which is expected to result in contracts for a total of 1.8 GW of capacity, according to Burduja.
21-2030 Update – First draft versionFor solar PV, Romania's 2030 target is 8.3 GW, of which 2.5 GW in rooftop installation and 5.8 GW in utility-scale projects. Although an improvement on the previous iteration of the NECP, which projected a total of 5.1 GW, the rooftop target is not

A 204MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Romania can progress after the government said it did not need to go through an environmental impact assessment (EIA).
Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja reportedly declared at a conference that Romania's storage requirement is 4,000MWh, and that half would be covered by BESS and half by pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) technology.
