Current status in Romania The Romanian energy system is currently highly dependent fossil fuels, centralised, and to a good extent technically obsolete, being in serious need of overhaul in order to sustain the upcoming energy transition.
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.
The Romanian NECP contains only minor details regarding the development of storage technologies, while the Energy Strategy envisages a significant role for large scale storage capacities after 2030, and particularly after 2040. However, there is little detail on how such capacities are to unfold, other than the mention of 1,000 MW of PHES by 2050.
