In a move that underscores its growing influence in Europe’s clean energy landscape, Repono has announced the acquisition of the 202 MW/404 MWh Arges Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Romania. This acquisition, revealed on October 21, 2025, signals a major step forward in Repono’s mission to accelerate Europe’s energy transition through large-scale storage infrastructure. Though the deal’s value remains undisclosed, its strategic significance for Romania’s renewable energy ecosystem is undeniable.

The Arges BESS project marks a milestone for Romania’s energy infrastructure. Located in Arges County, this ready-to-build project comes with a secured grid connection at the 220 kV Pitesti Substation, making it a cornerstone of Southeast Europe’s storage capabilities. Once operational, the facility will stand among the largest grid-scale storage assets in the region, with the capacity to power over 120,000 four-person households during peak demand. Beyond scale, its impact lies in enhancing grid stability and ensuring renewable generation remains reliable—an essential step toward achieving the EU’s decarbonisation and energy resilience objectives.

This acquisition is part of Repono’s broader expansion strategy across key European markets, including Germany, Italy, Austria, and Poland. By securing the Arges BESS, Repono reaffirms its commitment to Romania’s energy transition, positioning itself as a leading independent storage platform in Europe. Collaborations with local developers will pave the way for additional projects with a combined capacity of up to 1.4 GW, showcasing a long-term vision centered on sustainable infrastructure growth. The deal also emphasizes the importance of local partnerships in driving the next phase of renewable integration and market stability in Eastern Europe.

Vienna-based Gunvor, in partnership with Enspired, will oversee the project’s offtake and market optimisation, ensuring the Arges BESS operates efficiently within Romania’s evolving power market. This partnership highlights the growing role of smart energy management and digital optimisation in battery storage operations. With Radu Taracila Padurari Retevoescu (RTPR) advising on the legal front, the transaction reflects a seamless collaboration aimed at shaping the future of European energy systems. Repono’s investment in Romania is not just a business move—it’s a commitment to a greener, more reliable European power network.

The acquisition of the Arges BESS project reinforces Repono’s leadership in advancing Europe’s clean energy ambitions. As the continent pivots toward decarbonisation and energy independence, Repono’s efforts in Romania stand as a model for strategic, scalable, and sustainable development.
