Aug 16, 2025 · In a rising investment wave, firms in Romania are combining energy storage with solar, wind and hydropower or building standalone systems.
The Ministry made its announcement yesterday (8 February), aiming to get the 2-hour duration battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities up and running by mid-2026. A technical guide for selection criteria has been issued, with the call including funding for purchase of equipment and its installation, as well as construction of BESS assets.
Romania has also earmarked EUR 199 million to support new capacities for the production and recycling of batteries and solar cells and panels. With this reopened bidding, the ministry aims to see the two-hour duration battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities up and running by mid-2026. The budget for the BESS projects is EUR 79.6 million.
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.
Romania’s Ministry of Energy has reopened its call to support projects of battery storage for renewable energy integration, seeking at least 240 MW and 480 MWh of resources. The original call, which referred to at least 620 MWh, was expected to see projects selected by the end of 2023, according to reports.
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.
“As other European BESS markets become increasingly saturated, Romania stands out,” said Evangelos Gazis, Aurora’s head of Southeastern Europe, adding that the investment case for storage is strengthened by wind and solar’s rapid expansion driving high volatility in wholesale and balancing markets.

The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
