Recording from Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | Intersolar Summit Romania | Language: English | Duration: 5:03 .
Dr. Florian Wessendorf, Managing Director/Solar Promotion International GmbH, welcomed attendees to the first Intersolar Summit Romania in Bucharest and described the country as a rapidly changing solar market. He said Romania has entered a new phase of development, with solar capacity growing rapidly, storage moving to the center of discussion, and new business models emerging around hybrid assets, flexibility, and renewable power. He argued that the energy transition’s next chapter is not just about building more solar, but about integrating it through storage, stronger grids, smarter markets, and new sources of demand, including industry, electrification, data centers, and AI. He framed this as a European challenge and said Romania has an important opportunity because of its growing solar market, industrial base, position in Southeastern Europe, and need for flexibility and energy security. He said the summit would bring developers, investors, utilities, technology providers, policymakers, and market participants together to discuss PPAs, financing, hybrid plants, batteries, flexibility, grids, regulation, and new demand. He thanked the speakers, partners, Diamond Sponsor Foxes, Platinum Sponsors CATL, Suntech, and DAI, and attendees, and said Romania’s next challenge is making solar flexible, resilient, and part of a smarter energy system. He then handed the stage to Rina Mihai of the Romanian Photovoltaic and Storage Industry Association for a panel on global and local solar market growth drivers, challenges, and policy decisions.
