Supporting Grid Balancing in Romania with EPC Peaking Power Projects - Case Study

Romania’s energy sector is poised to increasingly rely on hydro-power, wind, and solar energy. These renewable sources, however, are subject to the unpredictability of wind, sunlight, and drought conditions. This variability places significant pressure on the Transmission System Operator (CNTEE Transelectrica SA), which is tasked with ensuring the safety and stability of the National Electricity System. As investments in renewables grow, enhancing investments in peaking / grid balancing capacities becomes critical to address the strains faced by the Transmission System Operator.
