This trend was confirmed at the Türkiye-Romania Energy Forum, held in Ankara and organised by Enexus, a turnkey solutions provider in the photovoltaic sector offering full-EPC services, energy storage and investment facilitation. The event brought together nearly 200 Turkish companies, from developers to investors and equipment manufacturers, with investment intentions already estimated at several hundred million euros.

"Through Enexus, we have already supported Turkish investors in entering the Romanian energy market, providing them with assistance from permits and design, access to financing, construction and delivery of ready-to-operate projects. The Ankara Forum confirmed Turkish investors' confidence in this market's potential," said Mesut Güler, CEO Enexus.

Over the past two years, Turkish companies have accelerated their expansion in Romania, announcing photovoltaic and hybrid projects totalling several gigawatts across all regions of the country. The growing demand for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) marks a new phase of market maturity, as investors increasingly seek to integrate flexibility and grid balancing capabilities into their business models.

Among recent projects, the Ulusoy and Yeşilyurt groups entered the Romanian market through the acquisition of solar projects in Dâmbovița County, developed in partnership with Enexus. Similarly, Koç Holding, already a player in Romania through Arctic, Ford Otosan, and Otokar, strengthened its renewable portfolio by acquiring a 214MW photovoltaic project near Bucharest through Entek Elektrik. "Romania appears to offer a balanced combination of potential, predictability, and conditions. With appropriate risk distribution and the integration of storage solutions, Romania continues to present itself as a competitive and stable market for large-scale projects," said Volkan Aktürk, Entek Elektrik's Deputy General Manager.
