From ESS News Romania has launched a new subsidy scheme for behind-the-meter battery energy storage systems to the tune of €150 million ($158 million). With the funding secured from the Modernization Fund, the Ministry of Energy launched the competitive bidding call on Tuesday. Bids will be accepted until January 17, 2025.
The Romanian Ministry of Energy has launched a grant program for battery energy storage systems developed in conjunction with existing renewable energy facilities – wind, solar, or hydro.

Following the positive assessment of the Romanian Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Commission has approved a €103 million Romanian scheme to support the construction of electricity storage facilities.
Netherlands' climate minister has allocated €100 million in subsidies to the deployment of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology.
That compares to the effective 100% requirement that solar-plus-storage projects used to need in order to qualify for an investment tax credit (ITC) in the US, and still do for Germany's Innovation Tender. The subsidy is needed because BESS co-located with PV are 'not profitable', the government said.
Installed solar capacity in the Netherlands reached 23.9 GW in 2023, a 4.3 GW annual growth. This was a sign of deceleration compared to previous years due to grid saturation and regulatory changes that affected utility-scale installations.
The Netherlands had an average installed solar capacity of 0.71 MW/km², with Zwijndrecht reaching over 5 MW/km². As of 2022, rooftop installations accounted for 1.8 GW in the residential sector and 1.3 GW in the commercial sector, while ground-mounted and floating projects contributed 0.9 GW.
The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo's national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country's 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.

DRC has benefited from several grant-making and concessional financing schemes that have helped to unlock private capital for the off-grid solar sector. In 2021, the Swedish investment platform (Trine) en-tered a partnership with Altech, a leading company in the distribution sustainable energy products and ser-vices18.
The DRC aims to connect 32% of the country to elec-tricity by 2030. Meeting this challenge will require co-ordinated efforts from various stakeholders, support-ive policies and regulations, and technical assistance support to prospective projects in order to attract in-vestments.
