VERBUND Wind Power Romania, the Romanian subsidiary of the Austrian energy company VERBUND, has selected a consortium consisting of Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo Group for the supply and integration of a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of 48 MW/76 MWh. The BESS will be located at the Alpha Wind Nord wind farm, part of the operating VERBUND wind complex in Tulcea County. The installation is designed to improve the integration of renewable energy into the grid and the operational flexibility of the company’s local renewable assets.
A consortium consisting of Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo Group will carry out the entire project, including design, equipment supply, system integration, installation, commissioning and handover of the fully operational battery energy storage facility. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026, with an estimated commissioning date of September 2026, according to a press release.
“This battery storage project represents a key element in our strategy to modernize Romania’s renewable energy infrastructure and support grid stability. We are confident in our partnership with Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo Group to deliver this important installation,” said Adrian Borotea, CEO of VERBUND Wind Power Romania.
“This project with VERBUND builds on our ability to deliver large-scale projects where deadlines, scale and reliability are non-negotiable. Our complete vertical control – from lithium-ion cells to energy management software – provides the manufacturing capacity and technical depth needed for this 76 MWh system with an eight-month lead time. Energy infrastructure requires certainty and full integration is essential,” said Vicentiu Ciobanu, CEO of Prime Batteries Technology.
“We are proud to collaborate with VERBUND and Prime Batteries Technology on a project that strengthens grid stability and accelerates Romania’s transition to a resilient, modern and flexible energy system. Large-scale BESS projects like this are no longer optional – they represent an essential infrastructure for energy security, enabling the reliable supply of renewable energy, at the right time and in full alignment with the needs of the national energy system. We have developed within the ENEVO Group the engineering, automation, construction and grid integration capabilities necessary to deliver such complex systems from end to end, from design to commissioning,” said Cristian Pîrvulescu, CEO of the ENEVO Group.
This battery storage project reflects VERBUND’s significant expansion strategy in the Romanian renewable energy market. The company currently operates a 226 MW wind farm in the Casimcea region, Tulcea County (since 2012). In addition, VERBUND Wind Power Romania has made several strategic announcements in the past year, including the acquisition of a 272 MW wind power project from Monsson, as well as the construction of a 60 MW photovoltaic plant with Simtel, also within the Casimcea wind farm, creating the first renewable energy hybrid project in the country. These projects demonstrate the commitment to stimulating the growth of the clean energy sector in Romania, the VERBUND press release also states.
