R.Power to Sell 200-MW Shovel-Ready Battery Project in Romania
Poland’s R.Power Group plans to sell a 200-MW shovel-ready battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Romania as part of its asset rotation strategy. The project, fully permitted and grid-connected, marks one of the largest standalone battery developments in the Romanian market. R.Power aims to attract investors seeking to capitalize on the region’s fast-growing energy storage opportunities driven by renewable expansion and grid balancing needs. The sale aligns with the company’s strategy to reinvest proceeds into new solar and storage developments across Central and Eastern Europe. The project will strengthen Romania’s grid flexibility, enhance renewable integration, and contribute to EU energy transition and decarbonization targets.
