Monsson and Prime Batteries have signed a cooperation memorandum for the supply of 1,070 MWh of batteries produced at the Cernica factory, which Monsson will use in its own projects in Romania and Europe that are already contracted by third parties, as well as in projects it is currently developing in Sweden.
“This memorandum provides us with a clear trajectory for the implementation of 1,070 MWh of energy storage systems based on our cooled-hall solution and strengthens Monsson’s capacity to deliver bankable, scalable projects that can be connected to the grid quickly. We aim to provide flexibility services on the Romanian and wider European markets, but using European technology that is secure both in terms of equipment delivery and cybersecurity, which is so important today for these installations that are of vital importance to the national energy system. We have focused on developing an efficient, liquid-cooled storage system, with an average efficiency higher than that of the systems currently installed in Romania and Europe – systems that we can now deliver together with Prime also on an EPC basis,” said Sebastian Enache, Head of M&A, Monsson.
“The partnership with Monsson leverages Prime Batteries’ expertise in developing and delivering BESS solutions at industrial scale. We will support the programme with competitive technologies, predictable delivery times and lifecycle services in order to increase grid flexibility and accelerate the energy transition,” said Vicențiu Ciobanu, CEO, Prime Batteries.
Education and adaptation to the energy transition are a priority for both Monsson and Prime Batteries. Prime Battery aims for all external partners to be certified and to provide high-quality Prime solutions for everyone, both during construction – through teams of technicians specialised in Prime technology and batteries – and through maintenance teams from subcontractors who are familiar with all the procedures and processes that enable Prime’s batteries and systems to perform at the highest levels of efficiency and over the longest possible lifetime.
Thus, Prime Batteries and Renewacad are laying the foundations, using the educational infrastructure available in the seven training centres across the country, for the first Prime-certified academy for clients and subcontractors who want to install, operate or repair Prime Batteries systems for electrical energy storage. “We are bringing our “know-how” closer to our partners and want to offer our collaborators greater flexibility to better understand and become more actively involved in the safer operation and maintenance of our battery systems,” said Vicențiu Ciobanu, CEO, Prime Batteries.
At the same time, through this partnership, Prime Batteries and RenewAcad aim to initiate, in 2026, the inclusion of new professions in the field of electrical energy storage in the national occupational classification, as well as the development of an Occupational Standard dedicated to Battery Energy Storage. “The energy sector is evolving; Romania’s energy mix, as well as the structure and infrastructure of the national energy system, are constantly being adapted to new technologies for both energy production and storage. Everyone in the market needs to stay up to date with developments and know how to operate these installations safely, in order to increase system flexibility. We are here to train people and qualify them for the jobs of the future,” said Sebastian Enache, coordinator of Renewacad.
Through this academy, Prime Batteries and RenewAcad will certify all service providers and Prime Batteries partners so they can work on and with the battery manufacturer’s equipment.
