Alive Capital Energises Romania’s Nanov Solar-Storage Plant
Romanian energy services company Alive Capital has energized and connected the Nanov Hybrid Power Plant to the national electricity grid. The facility pairs 23.45 MWac of solar capacity with a battery energy storage system rated at 5 MW and 10.67 MWh, forming a 23.45 MWac/26 MWdc solar-plus-storage hybrid project.The connection adds to Romania’s expanding renewable sector as hybrid installations gain momentum. By combining solar generation with battery storage, Nanov is designed to improve energy management, bolster grid stability and optimize delivery of renewable power. The plant is expected to supply clean electricity while demonstrating how storage can help integrate larger volumes of renewables into the grid, supporting Alive Capital’s continued investment in innovative clean-energy solutions in Romania. How does Nanov’s solar-plus-storage plant enhance Romania’s grid stability? Provides dispatchable renewable output by using batteries to “shift” solar production to times when electricity demand is higher, reducing swings that can stress the grid. Smooths rapid solar fluctuations (cloud transients) by absorbing excess generation and releasing stored energy within seconds to minutes, helping keep local voltage and frequency steadier. Enhances frequency and balancing services through fast battery response, supporting grid operators when supply–demand imbalances occur. Reduces peak load pressure and curtails the need for short-notice ramping from conventional plants by supplying power during evening peaks or high-demand intervals. Improves grid stability by lowering the risk of renewable curtailment: storage can take surplus solar when grid conditions would otherwise limit exports. Supports more reliable integration of additional renewables by creating flexible capacity that can compensate for variability without requiring equivalent increases in conventional generation. Can contribute to voltage management and reactive power support (depending on control system design), helping maintain power quality at connection points. Strengthens operational resilience for regional networks by providing a controllable energy buffer that can be tapped during disturbances, outages, or constrained grid periods. Enables more predictable day-ahead and intraday generation schedules, which helps system operators plan reserves and reduces uncertainty in balancing markets.

Electrica Expands Renewable Portfolio with 57-MW Solar Acquisition
Romanian utility Electrica has purchased a 57-MW solar project in northwestern Romania from New Trend Energy for EUR 3.25 million. The project, located in Doba, Satu Mare county, is in the shovel-ready phase and is owned by a special purpose vehicle developed by Romanian businessmen Emanuel Muntmark and Catalin Mrejeru. The acquisition aligns with Electrica's strategy to expand its services in renewable power generation and across the electricity value chain.The transaction, initially agreed upon in the summer of 2021, solidifies Electrica's position in the Romanian energy market, where it currently serves approximately 3.8 million customers. The solar park in Doba represents a significant step towards the company's goal of increasing its presence in the renewable energy sector.
