The 127 MW/254 MWh Scornicesti project is one of the largest energy storage assets in Romania to have secured an optimisation contract. Under the agreement, GEN-I will act as the exclusive asset optimiser and trading partner, responsible for the commercial optimisation of the BESS facility across wholesale power and ancillary services markets in return for a share of the profits, with a guaranteed minimum level of revenue (floor) for R.Power.

The contract covers the period from the start of commercial operation until the fifth anniversary of full revenue activation (including ancillary services).

The project is co-owned by R.Power and its Joint Venture partner Eiffel Investment Group. The signing of the optimisation agreement follows Eiffel’s acquisition of a 49.9 percent equity stake in the project in October 2025.

R.Power is currently expanding its BESS portfolio in Central and Eastern Europe. Large-scale BESS plays a key role in supporting renewable energy integration and enhancing power system stability.

“R.Power continues to develop its multi-technology portfolio, combining photovoltaic projects, battery energy storage and hybrid solutions across multiple European markets” said Rafał Hajduk, Chief Commercial Officer at R.Power. “We are focused on building long-term, scalable assets that respond to the growing demand for flexibility and energy security across Europe; taking a lead in the delivery of firm green power.”

R.Power’s overall pipeline of grid-secured, utility-scale BESS and renewables projects exceeds 10 GW, spanning six major markets.
