CATL to supply 918MWh Romania BESS, another 500MWh of projects progress elsewhere in CEE

Developer and EPC firm Enexus will use 50MWh of BESS from solar PV giant Longi for two solar-plus-storage projects in Romania. The companies have collaborated on solar PV projects previously, but the 15MWh and 35MWh BESS projects in Dâmbovița County mark the first storage collaboration between them. 

Longi only recently entered the BESS space, with the acquisition of system integrator PotisEdge late last year. 

Real estate investment platform MetaWealth has completed a €19 million financing structure for its first BESS, a 50MW/100MWh project, also in Romania. It comprises €10 million from CEC bank, €5.5 million from the founding Topolinski family, and €3.5 million from its securitisation and bond platform, which an executive explained to us in a recent interview.

Renalfa IPP has completed the repowering and hybridisation of its Devnya PV plant in Northeastern Bulgaria. It has increased the plant’s capacity from 5MWp to 65MWp and added a BESS totalling 60MW/165MWh. Solarpro was the EPC contractor. 

Bulgaria is now the most battery-heavy electricity market in the world, explained one of the Energy Storage Summit Central and Eastern Europe event’s speakers in a recent Q&A with us. 

Industrial firm MOL Group has completed a 37.4MWp solar, 20MW/40MWh BESS project in Hungary, called Algyő. The project benefitted from funds under Hungary’s EU-backed capex grant scheme for storage, head of communications Ambrus Halász said in a video on LinkedIn (image below). ‍

BESS owner-operator Tavion has raised €50 million in a fundraise and debt raise, which will go towards completing three projects in Poland totalling a combined 69MW.
