An opportunity that depends on execution<\/strong><\/p>\nThe opportunity is significant, but it places a premium on how projects are built. At utility scale, battery storage is a complex undertaking in which technology selection, engineering integration and long-term service capacity all influence whether a project delivers on its financial promise.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdvanced storage solutions are no longer a technical upgrade, but a requirement for the long-term viability of large-scale solar projects,\u201d says Sedat Akar, General Manager of YESS Power.<\/p>\n
This is why the market is moving toward fully integrated solutions, where batteries, inverters, transformers and control systems are designed to work together from the outset. For investors, the difference between an integrated system and a collection of standalone components translates directly into execution risk, deployment timelines, accountability during operation, and ultimately returns. YESS Power\u2019s model is built on this principle, delivering integrated systems with single-provider responsibility across the project lifecycle.<\/p>\n
Technology partnerships and project finance<\/strong><\/p>\nBeyond integration, technology choice remains a critical factor. YESS Power partners with Cubenergy, a battery system integrator listed among the BloombergNEF Tier-1 global energy storage manufacturers \u2013 a designation widely used by lenders as a benchmark for technical quality, supply chain reliability and bankability.<\/p>\n
Combined with YESS Power\u2019s own engineering and service capacity, the partnership addresses one of the most consistent concerns raised by investors active in Southeast Europe: balancing cost efficiency with reliability and the assurance of long-term support close to the project site.<\/p>\n
A regional market entering its next phase<\/strong><\/p>\nYESS Power has recently delivered a 30 MW \/ 60 MWh solar-plus-storage project in North Macedonia, one of the largest in the Western Balkans. The system stores energy produced during peak generation hours and dispatches it when demand and prices are higher, improving both grid stability and the underlying project economics.<\/p>\n
The company is now expanding its presence in Romania, while actively engaging with regional markets through industry platforms including the the Romanian Solar Summit, Adria Future Summit in Montenegro, the Belgrade Energy Forum, the Balkan Battery Day in Athens, and the Macedonia Energy Forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see Romania as one of the most promising renewable energy markets in Southeast Europe. Our focus is to support developers and investors with solutions that improve project performance and reduce long-term risks,\u201d adds Sedat Akar.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead<\/strong><\/p>\nAs Romania\u2019s renewable energy pipeline continues to grow, the role of storage will only increase. For investors entering the market today, the key question is no longer whether to include storage, but how to integrate it in a way that protects returns and reduces long-term risk. In this context, battery storage is a financial and strategic one.<\/p>\n
