Apr 8, 2024 01:59 PM ET
  • Romania's Prime Batteries and Monsson launch country's largest battery energy storage system, paving the way for Europe's largest hybrid solar-wind-battery complex.

Romania's Prime Batteries Technology and Monsson have activated the largest battery energy storage system in the country, with a capacity of 24 MWh. This system is part of a larger project that includes three battery units co-located with a PV park within the Mireasa wind farm, totaling 216 MWh by 2025. The first-stage BESS in Constanta County will store electricity from the Mireasa wind park and the under-construction Galbiori 2 PV plant.

The BESS complex will create the first hybrid solar-wind-battery complex in Romania and will be the largest of its kind in Europe once fully commissioned. The facility will use Prime Batteries' technology and consist of 132 battery strings with 114,048 lithium-ion cells, allowing for the storage of power from renewable sources and the national grid when needed.
