MY Enerji is progressing its Romanian solar portfolio towards a new stage of operation and battery integration. Mihaesti’s photovoltaic plant has reached commercial operation, while PV construction at Focsani and Pecica is complete and both projects are undergoing energization. Together, the three sites represent approximately 24 MWp of solar capacity, with 65 MWh of co-located battery storage planned across the portfolio.

Mihaesti prepares for battery energization

At Mihaesti, the 6.96 MWac / 10.22 MWp PV plant provides the operating foundation for the portfolio. The associated 30 MWh battery energy storage system is already on site, with energization targeted for the end of November 2026. The target remains subject to successful testing and completion of the relevant grid approvals.

Adding storage gives the project more flexibility over when energy can be delivered. Solar generation follows the available sunlight; a battery can retain energy for discharge at another time, within its operating and connection limits. The practical work now is to complete the electrical integration, testing and grid procedures needed for the storage system to operate alongside the PV plant.

Focsani and Pecica complete PV construction, ready for energization

Focsani, in Vrancea County, comprises 4.95 MWac / 7.13 MWp of solar PV, with a planned 20 MWh battery system. Pecica, in Arad County, has 4.50 MWac / 6.64 MWp of PV and a planned 15 MWh battery system. Construction of both PV plants is complete, and the projects are moving through the energization process.

Battery energization at both sites is targeted for March 2027. The storage installations therefore follow their own delivery and commissioning schedules, separate from the completed PV construction. Energization and subsequent commercial operation remain subject to the relevant testing, grid procedures and approvals.

For investors and developers, this distinction between construction completion, energization and commercial operation matters. Each marks a different stage in bringing an asset into service. In the current portfolio, Mihaesti’s PV plant is operating, Focsani and Pecica are progressing through PV energization, and all three battery projects have further milestones ahead.

Storage is part of the operating strategy

The planned 65 MWh of storage across these sites reflects MY Enerji’s approach to combining renewable generation with flexibility. Batteries can help separate the timing of solar production from the timing of electricity delivery. Their commercial value will depend on actual market conditions, technical performance and the costs of charging and dispatch.

That requires attention to the way each site will operate as a combined asset. A completed PV plant and an installed battery must work within their connection arrangements and control systems. The company’s near-term programme is centred on bringing those elements into service through the scheduled energization and commissioning steps.

Closed acquisitions support construction in 2027

Alongside work on the three existing sites, MY Enerji has completed the acquisition of a standalone battery project with 10 MWac of power capacity and 40 MWh of energy capacity. Construction is planned for 2027. Unlike the storage installations paired with the company’s PV plants, this project is being developed as a standalone BESS asset.

The company has also completed the closing of Apahida III in Cluj County, with construction planned for 2027. The project comprises 2.70 MWac / 3.50 MWp of solar PV, together with a planned 2 MW / 10 MWh battery system. The completed transaction adds a further project to the construction programme while the existing portfolio moves through its next commissioning stages.

Advisory and EPC work for third party investors

MY Enerji’s activity in Romania also extends to projects developed for other investors. The company has secured a separate Romanian project for a Turkish third-party investor and continues to provide advisory and engineering, procurement and construction services. This work sits alongside its own investment portfolio and draws on its experience of developing and delivering projects in the country.

The next milestones are specific: energizing Mihaesti’s battery, completing the PV energization process at Focsani and Pecica, bringing their batteries through the March 2027 target, and constructing the recently acquired projects during 2027. Progress against those milestones will determine the next stage of MY Enerji’s Romanian solar and storage business.
