Clean Horizon Storage Index, septembrie 2026 (2/3): perspectiva Romaniei

Good news for battery storage in Romania, and I wanted to share it with our partners and everyone working on BESS projects here.

According to Clean Horizon's Storage Index for September 2026, revenues in Romania came back to the level of the beginning of the year. The 2-hour index reached 306 k€/MW/year, an increase of 71.9% compared to August.

The main driver was the day-ahead market: spreads rose from 212 to 256 €/MWh (+20.8%). In simple terms, the difference between low-price and high-price hours widened, and that is exactly where a battery creates value.

For context, Romania sits above several markets in the same index this month, such as the Baltics, Sweden SE3 and Northern Italy, which is encouraging for a market that is still building its storage capacity.

At Energy Investment and PV Park, we develop and build PV and BESS projects in Romania, and this matches what we see on the ground: interest from investors is strong, and the conversation has moved from "if" to "how and when". On our current projects, the EPC reference for BESS is around 210,000 EUR/MW excl. VAT, which helps investors frame the opportunity realistically.

Of course, one month is not a trend, and an index is a market indicator rather than a project forecast. Good results come from careful design, grid connection planning and a clear operating strategy. But the direction is positive, and Romania deserves a place on the European storage map.
