The investment amounts to RON450 million (EUR92 million), being supported by a RON200 million state aid. Braila is one of the most sought-after counties in Romania by the new wave of green energy investors and the storage systems due to be produced by TESLA Energy Storage were inclusively destined to wind and solar parks.

Works were due to start in early 2023 and completed in one year, but in reality, they haven’t started, yet.

The delay is caused by the improvements the company decided to bring to the construction of the building and tech layout inside the unit, stated Dusan Lichardus, co-founder and chairman of TESLA managing board. Construction works will be finalized in June 2025, according to him.

He also specified the equipment will be mainly destined for the European market.
