6 FAQs about [Energy storage battery prices in Romania]

Does Romania need a strategy for energy storage?

Based on the EU context and planning a significant uptake of renewable energy sources in its electricity mix over the following decades, Romania must also develop a strategy for the deployment of energy storage technologies.

Does Romania have a storage policy?

In response to EU Regulation 2019/943, which clarifies the role of storage and its ownership status, the Romanian authorities transposed in Law 155/2020 (amending Energy Law 123/2012) specific provisions related to new storage facilities and their management rules.

Which energy storage technologies will not play a major role in Romania?

Other storage technologies, particularly those based on mechanical or kinetic energy, such as compressed air storage (CAES) and flywheels, will likely not play a major role in the Romanian energy sector in the short to medium-term and can, at most, be limited to niche applications requiring long-term storage.

Why does Romania need a new energy system?

The Romanian energy system is currently highly dependent fossil fuels, centralised, and to a good extent technically obsolete, being in serious need of overhaul in order to sustain the upcoming energy transition.

What are some examples of energy security issues in Romania?

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.

Should Romania Invest in hydrogen technology?

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.
