Romanian battery project nears grid as Saft and Jupiter Wagons win storage deals
R.Power finished installing 46 battery units and 23 medium-voltage transformer stations for its 127 MW/254 MWh Scornicesti storage project in Romania, with grid connection expected around late 2026 or early 2027. Saft agreed to supply 122 MWh of batteries to Axpo for two French projects, including a 41 MW/92 MWh site in Normandy and a 14 MW/30 MWh site in Centre-Val de Loire. Jupiter Wagons won a contract worth about ₹100 crore to build a 41 MW/102.5 MWh standalone battery system in Uttarakhand through its JEM Energy unit and Madhav Infra Projects.
R.Power has finished mounting 46 batteries and 23 medium-voltage transformer stations at its Olt County site. Construction started in spring 2026, with Parapet handling engineering and construction. Connection to Transelectrica is targeted for late 2026 or early 2027. The project, backed by about €46 million in financing and co-owned with Eiffel Investment Group, will use GEN-I for optimisation over five years.
Saft will provide 122 MWh to Axpo across Normandy and Centre-Val de Loire, using 24 Intensium Flex containers, power conversion and management systems, with deliveries due early 2027. Jupiter Wagons, via JEM Energy and Madhav Infra Projects, won a roughly ₹100 crore tender from Uttarakhand Power Corporation for a 41 MW/102.5 MWh standalone system.

These storage projects may help grids absorb more variable renewable power, potentially improving reliability for households and businesses in Romania, France and India. Local communities near sites could see construction jobs and infrastructure activity, while transmission operators may gain flexibility to balance supply and demand. Electricity traders and utilities could use the batteries to manage price swings and ancillary services. If delivered on schedule, the schemes may modestly support energy security and decarbonisation efforts, though their real effect will depend on grid rules, costs and operating performance.
