The directions pursued include energy storage technologies for obtaining the parameters necessary for the execution of power-to-gas stations and hybrid energy storage technologies (Lithium-ion program). For the time being, energy storage systems in Romania are in an early stage. However, energy storage continues to face some legislative
New Energy World embraces the whole energy industry as it connects and converges to address the decarbonisation challenge. It covers progress being made across the industry, from the dynamics under way to reduce emissions in oil and gas, through improvements to the efficiency of energy conversion and use, to cutting-edge initiatives in renewable and low
Romania can reach a completely decarbonised electricity production mix in 2040 with no security of supply risks by aiming to have no more than 3.5 GW1 of total installed gas-fired capacities by 2030 and by focusing more on wind power and
The company warns that in the context of the renewable energy targets that Romania has set, a storage capacity able to generate 4,000 MW for a very long period of 8 to 12 hours is needed
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. The aid per
Also using the Recovery and Resilience facility, the Ministry of Energy of Romania has awarded grants to a handful of energy storage projects. Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja yesterday (4 November) signed off some €30 million of support for five battery energy storage system (BESS) projects totalling 791.48MWh. They are:

PRIME Batteries Technology, Eldrive Romania and ALLSPARK Energy presented today a solution for storing energy and charging electric cars. The "energy cube" can power electric cars with energy from the grid or from photovoltaic panels, being ideal for areas where the grid needs improvement.
Romania agreed with Australia-based Green Gravity to examine the possibility of installing gravity energy storage technology in 17 mine shafts in the country''s coal hub in the Jiu Valley. Romania aims to quit coal by 2032 and replace thermal power plants using the fossil fuel with renewables, gas and nuclear power.
Green Gravity and Romanian government-backed energy company Complexul Energetic Valea Jiului SA (CEVJ) have executed a cooperation framework agreement to investigate deployment opportunities for the Australian company''s energy storage technology in 17 coal mine shafts in Romania''s Jiului Valley.
The main entities in the electricity sector are the Ministry of Energy and ANRE. The Ministry of Energy is expected to adopt this year Romania''s Energy Strategy for 2016-2030 which provides, among other measures, the construction of Tarniţa-Lăpuşteşti pumped storage project and promotes investments in the energy storage technologies.

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.
One example is Romania’s NECP, which at first did not address storage technology. The updated version of 2020 was marginally improved in this respect, listing ‘developing storage capacities’ as an instrument to improve energy security, but lacking detail on the storage capacity to be developed until 2030.
Energy storage technologies have various characteristics and offer different functions to the energy system, making them suitable for specific applications. For some applications, such as adequacy response, the power rating of a storage system may be the most relevant (MW).
The currently available options for financing hydrogen technologies, as well as the unprecedented level of support for them at EU level, make it into one of the most attractive prospects for the Romanian energy sector in the next years.
In effect, the updated NECP quoted the assessment study of system adequacy by the TSO, Transelectrica SA, which mentions a minimum 400 MW of needed new storage capacity (Transelectrica 2018) A deployment calendar should also have been indicated. The NECP mentions the possibility that storage be covered by a contract-for-difference (CfD) scheme.
Battery storage could be an opportunity for distribution system operators, if allowed under EU law and provided the regulator allowed the inclusion of such investments in tariffs, as this will decrease the financial impact of commercial and technical losses.
