罗马尼亚重磅政策：免除储能充电相关费用

Core Viewpoint - Romania's energy regulatory authority has exempted energy storage resources from certain grid charging fees, aiming to eliminate double charging for stored energy, which has been a significant barrier to the development of storage technology [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Changes - The National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) announced that energy storage resources will be exempt from transmission fees and green certificate fees when charging from the grid and discharging back [1]. - This exemption applies only to energy that is charged from the grid and then discharged back; self-consumed energy, including technical losses, will still incur grid-related fees [1]. - The regulation aims to send a clear signal to investors that Romania views energy storage not just as a technological option but as a pillar of energy transition [2]. Group 2: Importance of Storage Technology - Energy storage technology plays a crucial role in balancing energy systems and integrating renewable energy sources [1]. - The regulation addresses the long-standing issue of double charging, which has hindered the growth of storage technologies [1]. - The round-trip efficiency (RTE) of storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, which typically exceeds 90%, will become increasingly important for operators due to the remaining costs associated with self-consumed energy [1].
