Wiren Romania is considering the idea of storing electricity from renewable sources in lithium batteries, said Dor Marian, the company’s founder and chairman of the board.

“Energy storage can also solve the problems of negative energy costs. Ideally, for every MW of PV, 1.2 MW should be installed in storage units, because this would give a better payback rate than PV”, at the conference “2024: A defining year for the renewable energy sector in Romania”.

Such a measure would also eliminate the costs associated with imbalances in the electricity distribution network.

The company has also investigated the option of gravity energy storage, but this technology does not yet offer optimal yields. However, given Romania’s generous river basin, it would be worth exploring the use of water to store electricity.

The conference “2024: A defining year for the renewable energy sector in Romania” was organized by Energynomics with the support of our partners: ADC, Alive Capital, CRC Energy, Elektra Renewable Support, EnergoPower, Ensys, Extro, Horváth, ING Bank, LONGi Solar, Monsson Operation, Nofar Energy, OX2 România, Photomate, PNE Romania, Polytrade Global, REI Grup, Renomia, Sph3ra Management Solutions, Transelectrica, WALDEVAR Energy, Wiren Romania.
