R.Power Secures €46m for Romania 127-MW BESS

• R.Power wins a EUR 46m financing package for a 127MW/254MWh standalone battery storage project in Romania—boosting grid flexibility and balancing as renewables scale up.

Polish independent power producer R.Power secured a EUR 46 million (USD 53.4 million) financing package to build a 127-MW/254-MWh standalone battery energy storage system in Romania. The project, among the largest announced in the country, underscores accelerating investment in grid flexibility infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe.

The BESS is expected to help stabilize Romania’s power system, enhance renewable integration, and provide grid-balancing services as solar and wind capacity grows. R.Power said batteries are increasingly viewed as essential for grid reliability and Europe’s clean energy transition, and it plans to keep expanding its renewables and storage portfolio across European markets.

What does R.Power’s €46 million financing enable for Romania’s 127 MW/254 MWh BESS?

• Build and commission Romania’s standalone utility-scale BESS with a nameplate capacity of 127 MW / 254 MWh.
  
• Purchase and install the battery modules and power-conversion equipment needed to reach the project’s stated capacity and duration.
  
• Develop the associated balance-of-system works, including site preparation, electrical switchgear, transformers, and grid-connection interfaces.
  
• Install and integrate the control, monitoring, and energy management systems required for automated dispatch and performance verification.
  
• Perform pre-commissioning checks, grid-synchronisation testing, and performance trials so the plant can reliably start operating at commercial levels.
  
• Support full-scale commissioning and operational handover for participation in grid services such as frequency support, reserve/dispatch capability, and energy balancing.
  
• Enable grid flexibility improvements that help manage variability from renewable generation as Romania expands wind and solar and strengthens its power-system stability.
  
• Provide project execution capability that de-risks delivery by funding early and mid-stage development-to-construction activities, aligning with the project timeline and ramp-up to operation.
