San Diego-based Nuvve Holding Corp. and Swiss Omnia Global will install a 60 MW / 120 MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Braşov, Romania.
The BESS project in Braşov, a city in central Romania, is the third in Europe under a cooperation agreement signed by Nuvve Holding and Omnia Global.
The Romanian project, developed through SPV Braşov 60, brings Nuvve’s total announced European BESS capacity under the Omnia Global partnership to more than 150 MW — comprising 50 MW in Sweden, 40 MW in Austria, and now 60 MW in Romania, according to the US company specialized in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid-interactive energy solutions.
Omnia Global brought well-advanced projects to the partnership
Commercial operations of all three assets are targeted to begin in 2026.
They also have contracted EPC agreements, secured sites and grid access rights, the update reads.
Nuvve explained that Omnia Global brought well-advanced projects to the partnership.
When the two firms announced their strategic cooperation earlier this month, the Swiss one’s development pipeline already comprised more than 700 MW across 16 projects in Austria, Romania, and Bulgaria at various stages of development and due diligence.
Poilasne: What matters here is not just the scale – it is the economics
The Braşov project will serve Romanian balancing and ancillary service markets, with commercial operation targeted for Q4 2026. Revenue optimization will be managed by Nuvve’s GIVe™ platform across Romanian FCR, aFRR, and balancing market mechanisms.
“What matters here is not just the scale — it is the economics. At USD 250,000 to USD 500,000 of revenue per MW per year, Nuvve is building a European energy platform that generates high-margin recurring revenue from day one of operation. Romania is an especially compelling market given its yield profile, and we expect it to be one of the strongest contributors to our European fee revenue base,” Gregory Poilasne, Co-Founder and CEO of Nuvve Holding Corp., underscored.
Hansen: We prioritize the development work
Omnia CEO Daniel Hansen said that it prioritizes development work — securing grid access, completing due diligence, signing EPC contracts — before any asset is brought to a partner.
“Romania is a market we know deeply, and the revenue dynamics there are exceptional for grid-scale storage operators,” he stressed.
