METLEN Energy & Metals has renewable energy generation projects in Romania totalling 1.6 GW of capacity, as well as plans to install 350 MW of energy storage facilities, said Massimo Ceccariglia, the company’s Eastern Europe Grid and Regulatory Director.
“Romania is the second largest market for us, after Italy. We have 1.6 GW of renewables projects, and more than 1 GW of these already have ATRs approved. All the expenses related to securitisation of these projects have already been approved, so these projects are real,” he said at the conference “Digitalization and Energy Efficiency – Bucharest” organised by Energynomics together with the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Romania – CCIpR.
The company also currently has more than 800 MW of photovoltaic projects under construction, so its total projects – at all stages of development – exceed 2.4 GW.
METLEN Energy & Metals is also developing energy storage projects totalling more than 350 MW, as well as several green hydrogen projects. To support these investments, the company plans to reach more than 1,000 employees in Romania by 2026, compared to 70 today.
He also said that investment in digitisation of energy transmission grids is needed so that they can take all the energy expected to be delivered by renewable energy projects.
