The latest data showed that prosumers in Romania don’t have a much larger total capacity anymore than commercial solar power plants, a segment accelerating in expansion. The share of units for self-consumption that include energy storage reached 5.8% in the first half of the year, compared to 1.2% six months earlier. Total number of prosumers […]
Pressed by the lack of electricity system flexibility, Cyprus is rushing to deploy battery storage facilities under indirect state control. Private companies are complaining that Transmission System Operator Cyprus (TSOC) is favored at a current tender for three units of 40 MW each. EMA, the electricity market association of private companies has been trying to […]
In an accelerating investment wave, companies in Romania are combining BESS with solar power, hydropower and wind power, or building standalone energy storage facilities. The group includes R.Power, Hidroelectrica, Engie and more big names. Recent updates about investments in battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Romania indicate the technology is becoming another pillar of the […]
The largest hybrid power plant in Bulgaria is beginning to take shape – a joint venture of Eurowind Energy and Renalfa IPP commissioned the first segment of a solar park, and it is building a battery energy storage system (BESS). The Tenevo facility is planned to include a wind power plant as well. Almost two […]
