Are energy storage technologies commercially available in Romania?
This study investigated the feasibility of energy storage technologies that are commercially available on the Romanian market by using the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) method. The proposed approach also considers subsidies and different battery energy storage system’ (BESS) technical parameters.
How much does electricity cost in Romania?
The electricity price considered for Romania is 0. €/kWh, which is the average price in the first quarter of , according to EU statistics . Thus, the LCOS values must be less or equal to the aforementioned threshold to be cost efficient and considered a profitable investment for the BESS’s owner.
Which Romanian companies are adding Bess to their renewable assets?
Other Romania-based companies, such as Parapet and Waldevar Energy, have told pv magazine that adding BESS to their renewable assets is a top priority. The May edition of pv magazine features an in-depth look at Romania’s solar and energy storage markets.
Can a battery be used in a PV system in Romania?
As the price for every kWh injected into the network and battery energy storage system (BESS) costs are dynamic, the household and industrial consumers who want to integrate a battery in their PV system may have difficulties choosing between the commercially batteries available on the Romanian market.
How much solar energy is injected into the grid in Romania?
As shown in Fig. 1, the share of RES in the total amount of electricity injected into the grid by the dispatchable producers increased from 35.4 % in to 44.39 % in . Fig. 1. Romania electricity mix . In the Romanian Parliament adopted the prosumer law to encourage the increase of solar electricity injected into the grid.
How much LCoS does a battery cost in Romania?
To be considered profitable, the LCOS of the battery must be less or equal to electricity unit price paid by the customer. The electricity price considered for Romania is 0. €/kWh, which is the average price in the first quarter of , according to EU statistics .
The weighted average price on the Day-Ahead Market for the last ten years is presented in Fig. 2, which shows that between and the price of each MWh injected into the grid has varied between 47.97 and 53 €/MWh, but in it dropped to 41 €/MWh.

Electricity pricing is a mix of market costs and regulated components: Energy cost – Depends on your contract (fixed, capped, or dynamic). Network fees – Pay for using the grid (20–30% of your bill). Taxes – VAT (19%) and small excise duties. Other charges – Green energy support and cogeneration
Romania expects its overall energy storage to amount to at least 2.5 GW in operating power at the end of , and to expand to as much as 5 GW a year later, local media reported, citing Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja. These ambitious energy storage targets are aligned with transmission
