Verbund selects Romanian consortium to add BESS to its wind farm

Austria’s Verbund has selected a Romanian consortium, consisting of Prime Batteries and Enevo Group, to install a battery energy storage system. The facility will be located at Verbund’s operational wind farm in Romania.

Verbund began its operations in Romania in 2012, when the 226 MW Casimcea wind farm in Tulcea County was commissioned.

Verbund Wind Power Romania said  has selected a consortium comprising Prime Batteries and Enevo Group for the supply and integration of a new BESS with a capacity of 48MW / 76MWh.

The company is already installing 60 MW solar power plant in in Casimcea wind complex. With battery energy storage system (BESS) it plans to make a renewable energy hybrid facility.

Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026

The BESS will be located at the 81.3 MW Alpha Wind Nord wind farm, part of the Casimcea wind complex.

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, Verbund Wind Power Romania said.

Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026 and the estimated date of commissioning is set for September 2026, the company added.

According to Prime Batteries, together with Enevo Group, the firm will deliver the full EPC scope – from design and equipment supply to commissioning – at Verbund’s Alpha Wind Nord wind farm.

Borotea: The project reflects the significant expansion strategy of Verbund in Romania

“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,” Verbund Wind Power Romania managing director Adrian Remus Borotea underlined.

This battery storage project reflects the significant expansion strategy of Verbund in Romania’s renewable energy market, he explained.

Of note, in April Verbund Wind Power Romania acquired a 272 MW wind project from Monsson, a Sweden-based renewable energy group. The project is taken over at a ready-to-build stage.
