Romania is emerging as one of the most dynamic markets for Turkish renewable energy investments, attracting growing interest from industrial and financial groups with regional exposure. Real grid connection opportunities for viable projects, infrastructure modernization potential, and investment framework stability make Romania a strategic destination for Turkish capital, at a time when Europe is accelerating its transition to sustainable sources and energy independence.
This trend was confirmed at the Türkiye-Romania Energy Forum, held in Ankara and organized by Enexus, a turnkey solutions provider in the photovoltaic sector offering full-EPC services, energy storage and investment facilitation. The event brought together nearly 200 Turkish companies, from developers to investors and equipment manufacturers, with investment intentions already estimated at several hundred million euros.
"Through Enexus, we have already supported Turkish investors in entering the Romanian energy market, providing them with complete assistance, from permits and design, access to financing, construction and delivery of ready-to-operate projects. The Ankara Forum confirmed Turkish investors' confidence in this market's potential," said Mesut Güler, CEO Enexus.
Through its role as facilitator between investors and the Romanian energy ecosystem, Enexus has become a key player in attracting Turkish capital to the renewable energy sector.
Romania, a stable and competitive market for investments
Over the past two years, Turkish companies have accelerated their expansion in Romania, announcing photovoltaic and hybrid projects totaling several gigawatts across all regions of the country. The growing demand for Battery Energy Storage Systems, also known as BESS, marks a new phase of market maturity, as investors increasingly seek to integrate flexibility and grid balancing capabilities into their business models.
Among recent landmark projects, the Ulusoy and Yeşilyurtgroups entered Romania market through the acquisition of solar projects in Dâmbovița County, developed in partnership with Enexus. Similarly, Koç Holding, already a major industrial player in Romania through Arctic, Ford Otosan, and Otokar, strengthened its renewable portfolio by acquiring a 214MW photovoltaic project near Bucharest through Entek Elektrik.
“Romania appears to offer a balanced combination of potential, predictability, and favourable conditions. Experiences from other Koç Group companies suggest that it can provide a stable environment for long-term investment. With appropriate risk distribution and the integration of storage solutions, Romania continues to present itself as a competitive and relatively stable market for large-scale projects,”
