Solarplaza Summit | Romania

This keynote opens our conference with an overview of the Romanian Solar & B.E.S.S utility scale market and how it is expected to growth over the next years.

This presentation will provide a detailed overview of upcoming policy changes in Romania and their impact on the solar and storage project approval process. Attendees will gain clarity on new legal requirements, available subsidies, and the legislation around hybridizing projects. The presentation will also address current bottlenecks in the approval and implementation processes, offering solutions to overcome regulatory challenges.

This presentation will delve into successful energy storage business models from leading European countries and their applicability to Romania's market. Attendees will explore how energy storage supports grid reliability, the long-term trends in integrating solar and storage, and how energy trading can enhance profitability. The session will provide concrete examples of markets that have rapidly expanded from MW to GW scales, offering practical insights for scaling up storage projects.

This session provides an in-depth analysis of Romania’s first CfD auction, detailing its design and implications for solar and storage projects. Attendees will gain insights into how CfDs function as revenue streams, with real-world insights from a successful applicant sharing their journey and outcomes from the initial auction.

This presentation will provide firsthand insights from a developer actively working on utility-scale solar projects in Romania.

Romania’s energy storage market is at a turning point—full of potential but marked by uncertainty. As the country navigates regulatory challenges and market design, insights from more established storage markets like Germany can offer a valuable roadmap.

In this session, a leading German developer will share first-hand lessons from their experience in the German storage sector, discussing what has worked, what hasn't, and what Romania can learn from Germany's evolving energy storage landscape.

By 2030, the solar capacity is projected to reach 8GW. Discover what trends have the most potential to disrupt the Romanian solar market in the coming years and where leading players are positioning themselves to capitalize on emerging trends in solar PV and energy storage.
