Electro-Alfa International has acquired Solar Technologies Consulting, the project company behind a 52 MW BESS project in Șelimbăr, Sibiu county. The asset carries an estimated value of around €25 million, with construction expected to take about 12 months after the design phase is completed. Electro-Alfa said it will assess whether to operate the facility or sell it to energy-sector investors after development.

The deal signals a shift in Romania BESS M&A: storage assets are no longer only targets for infrastructure funds or renewable developers. Equipment and EPC-linked industrial players are now using acquisitions to move into asset ownership and capture value across development, delivery, and exit.

Electro-Alfa’s timing matters. The company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange in March 2026 after raising RON 579.64 million through its IPO, giving it fresh public-market capital for expansion.

This follows a wider European pattern. Enerdatics’ Q3 2025 analysis found that European BESS M&A rose sharply, with investors prioritising grid-connected and shovel-ready storage assets in markets exposed to volatility and policy-backed revenue support.

Commercial signal: buyers are paying for execution optionality. Electro-Alfa can build, operate, or sell the 52 MW project, turning BESS from a standalone asset into a balance-sheet strategy.
