Romania has taken another bold step in expanding its battery storage fleet with the launch of a €150 million program for municipalities, set to add 385 MW of new battery capacity to the system.
Energy Minister Bogdan Ivan attended a meeting with the Association of Romanian Municipalities (AMR) this week, where he discussed the transformation of Romanian cities into energy-smart communities.
To date, the Ministry of Energy has financed 93 municipalities through 754 contracts worth a total of €437 million for the installation of solar panels. According to Ivan, the next step is energy storage, supported by the newly launched €150 million program.
