Alcemi co-founder James Forster said the local partnership would give it “the on-the-ground expertise needed to navigate Romania’s regulatory and grid interconnection landscape effectively.”
“This collaboration allows us to move quickly while ensuring our projects are aligned with local market conditions and community priorities,” Forster said, adding that Alcemi saw Romania as a “key market for BESS development.”
As regular readers of Energy-Storage.news will be aware, Romania has rapidly become a leading destination for developers among the growing Central and Eastern European markets, along with Poland.
Along with macroeconomic trends such as falling BESS equipment costs and investors becoming more comfortable with the technology, Romania has country-specific drivers for BESS deployment.
These include a need to integrate growing shares of daytime solar PV generation, alongside numerous subsidy schemes for energy storage, including co-located projects and support programmes from the European Union (EU).
