Verbund Wind Power Romania, the Romanian subsidiary of leading Austrian energy company Verbund, has selected a consortium comprising Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo Group for the supply and integration of a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of 48MW/76MWh.
The BESS will be located at the Alpha Wind Nord wind farm, part of the Verbund wind complex in operation, in Tulcea County. The installation is designed to enhance the integration of renewable energy into the grid and improve operational flexibility of the company’s local renewable assets.
A consortium of Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo Group will deliver the full EPC scope, including design, equipment supply, system integration, installation, commissioning, and the handover of the fully operational battery storage facility. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026, and the estimated date of commissioning is set for September 2026.
“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 facility,” said Adrian Borotea, Verbund Wind Power Romania managing director.
“This project with VERBUND is based on our ability to deliver utility-scale projects where timeline, 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 required for this 76 MWh system with its eight-month execution timeline. Energy infrastructure demands certainty, and end-to-end integration is essential,” said Vicentiu Ciobanu, CEO of Prime Batteries Technology.
“We are proud to work alongside Verbund and Prime Batteries Technology on a project that strengthens the stability of the network and accelerates Romania’s transition toward a resilient, modern, and flexible energy system. Large scale BESS projects like this one are no longer optional — it is essential infrastructure for energy security, enabling renewable power to be delivered reliably, at the right moment, and in full alignment with the needs of the national power system. We have developed inside Enevo Group the engineering, automation, construction and grid-integration capabilities required to deliver such complex systems end-to-end, from design to commissioning.” said Cristian Pîrvulescu, CEO of Enevo Group.
This battery storage project reflects the significant expansion strategy of Verbund in Romania’s renewable energy market. Currently, the company operates a 226 MW wind farm in the Casimcea region, in Tulcea County (since 2012).
In addition, Verbund Wind Power Romania has made several strategic announcements in the last 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 in the Casimcea wind farm site, creating the country’s first renewable energy hybridization project. These projects showcase the commitment to driving growth in Romania’s clean energy sector.
