The European Commission has approved a €103 million (US$125 million) package of direct grants from the government in Romania for energy storage projects.
The financial support in the form of direct grants was announced by the government in November 2022, and will go towards at least 616MWh of energy battery storage projects. That is based on a maximum grant/MWh of €167,000. Other thresholds under the scheme are a maximum of €15 million per beneficiary and a maximum of 100% of the project’s funding gap.
Life-younger, the brand of Shenzhen Liyuan battery Co., Ltd. We provide different energy storage solutions including the residential, industrial and commercial parks, micro-grid, electric energy storage and others.
Projects will be selected by 31 December, 2023, and need to be completed by 31 December, 2025. The program will receive €79 million from Romania’s portion of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, the EU-wide scheme to mitigate the negative economic effects of the Covid pandemic, while the government will fund the rest. Finland and Greece are also using the funding pot to support energy storage projects.
Romania is currently targeting 30.7% renewable generation in its electricity mix by 2030. The country hasn’t had many utility-scale energy storage projects in recent years but a booming solar market is set to help the battery storage follow on. As covered in the most recent edition of PV Tech Power, our sister site PV Tech’s quarterly journal, solar developers are moving into Romania ahead of a new contract for difference (CfD) scheme.
The first large-scale battery storage system was inaugurated back in 2018 by Portuguese utility EDP’s renewables arm EDP Renováveis while local reports said a 7MW unit started construction in Spring 2022 from Austrian firms Core Value Capital, Gerdan Real Estate and Green Source.( The news is from Energy-Storage.news)
