OMV Petrom to develop 18MW power storage capacity
<p>Romanian energy group OMV Petrom seeks to develop a power storage installation with a capacity of 36MWh, able to deliver power at a rate of 18MW, close to the 89MW solar power plant it is developing in Isalnita.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As part of the PNRR call for projects, the company submitted a project for a storage capacity of 18 MW said the head of OMV Petrom Energy and Gas Division, Frank Neel, responding to an inquiry of <a href="https://www.profit.ro/povesti-cu-profit/energie/omv-petrom-intra-si-pe-piata-de-stocare-a-energiei-21694633?mc_cid=c0e7cadf13&amp;mc_eid=607bd7d763" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Profit</a>.</p>

<p>The power storage installation would be installed in the 89 MW Ișalnița park, for which OMV Petrom took the final investment decision in June this year.</p>

<p>"We are constantly looking for such opportunities as there are clear synergies between our Brazi power plant, our future renewable energy capabilities, and energy storage," Neel said.</p>
