The storage unit put into operation has an installed capacity of 24 MWh - (6MWx4h), is built in Constanța County by Monsson, through a unique project, pending patenting, and uses domestically produced batteries, manufactured by the Romanian company Prime Batteries Technology.
This first phase is just one of the three stages that will constitute a total storage capacity of 216 MWh to be commissioned over the years 2024 and 2025.
The storage unit will be charged with energy produced by the existing 50MW Mireasa Wind Farm, with photovoltaic energy produced by the 35MW Gălbiori 2 photovoltaic park under construction and to be connected to the grid in 2024, as well as from the national grid when there is no wind or sunlight. The hybrid project is fully automated remotely, without local operational personnel, and will operate in an integrated system through proprietary software developed by Monsson.
