Romania's Strategic Investment in Utility-Scale Battery Storage Boosts Renewable Integration
A Romanian electrical infrastructure firm is leading that nation’s embrace of energy storage system projects totaling more than 1 GWh of capacity this decade.
Engineering, procurement and construction firm ENEVO Group signed a deal with energy storage system provider Sungrow for a series of projects to be installed in Romania. The first phase of the collaboration will include 440 MWh of projects ordered in early 2026, scheduled for delivery before December 2026.
The following phase will add another 560 MWh, bringing the total to 1 GWh+, once all projects are completed. All systems will be deployed across Romania and will feature Sungrow's PowerTitan 2.0 Liquid Cooled Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a solution for large-scale grid support and renewable integration.
"Our collaboration with Sungrow started in the solar sector and has grown into a broader strategic partnership, now expanding into battery energy storage through this 1 GWh agreement,” said Radu Brașoveanu, CTO & co-founder ENEVO Group. “Together we are accelerating the integration of BESS with renewable generation while advancing ENEVO's ambition to become a leading EPC contractor for large-scale battery storage systems in the region.”
Utility-scale battery storage can bring balance if paired with intermittent solar capacity. Romanian government estimates put last year’s nationwide solar installation at more than 2 GW.
The PowerTitan series has been deployed in numerous utility-scale projects across the region, including battery storage in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, and Bulgaria, demonstrating the reliability of Sungrow's technology and its strong local operational support.
"Our team remains fully committed to providing unparalleled customer support at every stage — from design and delivery to commissioning and operation — ensuring long-term project success and energy security for our partners," said James Li, Vice President of Sungrow Europe, responsible for ESS.
Romania is one of multiple nations to scale up battery and energy storage capacity in the European Union (EU). An early 2026 report by SolarPower Europe estimated that the EU installed more than 27 GW of new battery storage capacity last year, another record for the continent.
