Vienna/Bucharest, 2 June 2026. enspired, Europe's leading commercial optimizer of battery storage systems, has formed a strategic partnership with Alive Capital, a Romanian integrated energy services platform specialized in renewable energy management, aggregation solutions, forecasting, dispatching and portfolio optimization, to maximize the potential of grid-scale energy storage in Romania. Together, the two companies will offer a pioneering technology-based solution to transform how co-located and standalone BESS assets are optimized in Romania’s energy markets while accelerating the energy transition by integrating more renewables into the grid.
The partnership seeks to leverage the core strengths of the two companies for the benefit of asset owners in Romania. Alive Capital offers expertise in operations, aggregation and portfolio management across Romania’s entire energy value chain, while enspired's proprietary AI-powered trading and optimization platform adapts seamlessly to new markets and changing conditions. The sophisticated joint offering enables asset owners to simultaneously participate across multiple energy markets and increase revenues generated by BESS assets through automated trading and advanced cross-market optimization strategies. As part of this joint offer, enspired has already been contracted to optimize one of the largest standalone battery assets in Southeastern Europe, with a capacity of 202 MW / 404 MWh.
As renewable capacity grows rapidly in Romania, the need for flexibility becomes critical. As of May 2026, connected BESS capacity on the Romanian National Energy System has reached 600 MW installed power with an associated storage capacity of 1.2 GWh, and grid connection contracts already signed point to a pipeline of approximately 9 GW of additional BESS capacity. This creates a significant value for asset owners to capture new revenue streams as imbalance volumes increase and intraday price spreads become more relevant. By combining a route-to-market service with top-tier technology, Alive Capital and enspired are providing the technical infrastructure and proven expertise required to capitalize on Romania’s first-mover advantage and maximize revenues across wholesale and ancillary service markets.
The technological partnership is part of Alive Capital's broader strategy to develop and manage sustainable energy infrastructure — integrating advanced technology across its aggregation, dispatch, forecasting and portfolio management services. For enspired, entry into the Romanian market adds another chapter to its global expansion story and is another opportunity to contribute deep expertise in flexibility optimization and a strong technical understanding of BESS. Together, the two companies are ideally positioned to deliver best-in-class and transparency-driven energy management solutions for storage assets operating in increasingly complex and dynamic European energy markets.
The scale of market interest is already clear: asset owners who have responded positively to the joint offering represent a cumulative storage capacity of approximately 1 GW — a clear signal of the demand that this partnership is positioned to serve.
