A few days ago, Electrica started the procedure to obtain the necessary permits for the construction of 15 electricity storage battery parks, with a capacity of approximately 1 GWh, according to a company report submitted to the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

Thus, Electrica will capitalize on land from its heritage and take important steps in implementing its 2030 strategy.

”The development of this 1 GWh storage infrastructure represents a strategic pillar in transforming Electrica into a leader in the energy transition. By diversifying geographically in 15 locations, we ensure not only operational resilience, but also the ability to dynamically respond to fluctuations in consumption and production in the national energy system. This investment demonstrates our ability to execute complex critical infrastructure projects, positioning Electrica as a trusted partner for the sustainable development of Romania,” the report states, according to Agerpres.

The storage parks will allow for the efficient integration of growing renewable capacities, significantly reducing price volatility and import dependency.

”We have undertaken an ambitious timetable, but our team has proven that it can deliver large-scale projects. This project is not just about technology or capacity, it is about redefining the way Romania manages energy security for the coming decades,” said Electrica CEO Alexandru Chiriță.
