The company revealed plans to develop 2,500 MW of storage across four to five locations, including the site of the ongoing gas-fired plant development.

The new storage project aims to balance the national energy grid and provide electricity during peak hours at affordable prices for citizens. This follows the company's existing €1.2 billion investment in the Mintia power plant, which is set to reach an installed capacity of 1,700 MW this year. Once completed, Mintia will be the largest gas-fired power station on a single site in the EU.

The discussions also focused on the project's current implementation timeline and the coordination with Romanian authorities to meet national security goals. Currently, commissioning tests for the gas turbines are scheduled for this year, with electricity production expected to start in September 2026.

PM Ilie Bolojan underlined the importance of Mass Global Energy's investment for the stability of the National Power System. He confirmed that the Government would expedite the finalisation of the connection to the Transelectrica grid to ensure the plant can operate at its full capacity, consuming up to 2.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas annually.
