6 FAQs about [Romania ancillary services battery storage]
Does Romania need a strategy for energy storage?
Based on the EU context and planning a significant uptake of renewable energy sources in its electricity mix over the following decades, Romania must also develop a strategy for the deployment of energy storage technologies.
Can storage technologies improve energy security in Romania?
Such enhanced legislation is needed for implementing the Romanian National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which lists ‘developing storage capacities’ as an instrument to improve energy security but lacks detail on how storage technologies will be deployed until 2030.
What are some examples of energy security issues in Romania?
One example is Romania’s NECP, which at first did not address storage technology. The updated version of 2020 was marginally improved in this respect, listing ‘developing storage capacities’ as an instrument to improve energy security, but lacking detail on the storage capacity to be developed until 2030.
Does Romania have a storage policy?
In response to EU Regulation 2019/943, which clarifies the role of storage and its ownership status, the Romanian authorities transposed in Law 155/2020 (amending Energy Law 123/2012) specific provisions related to new storage facilities and their management rules.
Could battery storage be an opportunity for distribution system operators?
Battery storage could be an opportunity for distribution system operators, if allowed under EU law and provided the regulator allowed the inclusion of such investments in tariffs, as this will decrease the financial impact of commercial and technical losses.
Should Romania import electricity from its neighbours?
In effect, whenever power demand peaks over 8,000 MW, absent significant RES production, Romania must import electricity from its neighbours.
