Renalfa IPP, a Vienna-based renewable energy developer and independent power producer, has purchased a 258 MW solar power project in Romania’s Teleorman county. The company also announced plans to integrate a 1 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with the facility, marking a significant step toward enhancing grid stability and optimizing renewable energy use.
The Teleorman project, located in southern Romania, is expected to begin commercial operations in 2027. Once operational, it will support Romania’s decarbonization efforts and strengthen the country’s energy security, according to Renalfa IPP.
In a LinkedIn post, the company emphasized that the acquisition aligns with its strategic goal of advancing sustainable energy solutions across Central and Eastern Europe. The integration of a 1,000 MWh BESS with the solar facility is designed to improve grid reliability, maximize renewable energy utilization, and contribute to the development of a resilient and sustainable energy system.
Renalfa IPP was established as a joint venture between Renalfa Solarpro Group and RGreen Invest, a French infrastructure fund management company. The firm specializes in renewable energy generation and e-mobility solutions, with operations spanning Hungary, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, and North Macedonia.
In June, Renalfa IPP commissioned its first utility-scale BESS in Razlog, Bulgaria. The 25 MW/55 MWh storage system is co-located with a 33 MW photovoltaic plant, showcasing the company’s commitment to combining solar energy with advanced storage solutions.
The Teleorman project represents another milestone in Renalfa IPP’s mission to drive the clean energy transition in the region.
