Professional consumpers (prosumers) in Romania will be obliged to install Solar Storage System according to new Law 255/2024, adopted last week in the Chamber of Deputies' plenary session.
The new regulation applies to homeowners with PV systems with a capacity between 10.8 kW and 400 kW with battery energy storage system (BESS)
Existing prosumers with installations between 3 kW and 400 kW will also be obliged to install Solar Storage System by December 31, 2027. If they fail to do so, their electricity export to the grid will be limited to 3 kW.
The new bill stipulates that the Solar Storage System must match at least 30% of the capacity of the PV arrays between 3 kW and 200 kW and at least 50% of the solar installations between 200 kW and 400 kW.
The power discharged into the network by prosumers cannot exceed the capacity of their storage facilities, according to the new regulation.
The document adopted by the parliament reads that there is a large number of prosumers in the country, who feed their excess solar energy into the network, which in turn leads to congestion and blackouts. Therefore, the installation of home Solar Storage System is a necessary step.
