en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aukera's first battery energy storage system project in Romania has recently commenced operation. This project is part of the company's flagship Gura 250 MW/500 MWh battery energy storage system project and represents a significant milestone in the delivery of this flagship initiative.

The project took only 12 months from achieving ready-to-build status to operation, making it one of the fastest-delivered projects in the Romanian market. Phase II will add an additional 100 MW capacity, expected to be delivered by the end of 2026, and has received support from Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The company also plans to bring another 800 MW of battery energy storage system projects into construction within the next 6 to 9 months, solidifying its position as a leading developer and operator in Romania's battery energy storage infrastructure sector.

Romania's renewable energy installed capacity is expanding rapidly, making large-scale flexibility resources, particularly battery energy storage, a national priority with strong support from the government, transmission system operators, and international lenders and investors. Aukera co-founder Catalin Breaban stated that Gura is one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in Romania, and the company has a substantial project pipeline. "Romania has extraordinary renewable energy potential, and the next phase of development will depend on how storage infrastructure evolves in tandem with growth," Breaban said at the commissioning ceremony. Romanian electricity producers, including state-owned hydropower giant Hidroelectrica, are currently advancing several gigawatt-scale battery energy storage projects, either integrated with existing power plants, as part of hybrid stations, or as standalone facilities.
