Smart cities get smarter (and cheaper) when municipal assets become solar assets. Rooftops, facades, depots, and street lighting can generate, store, and intelligently use electricity, cutting operating costs, strengthening resilience, and enabling data-driven city services under the EU’s Cities Mission and REPowerEU agenda.
Digitalization puts structure into data, AI turns that data into decisions, and the Energy Management System (EMS) executes on time. This continuous loop turns assets into intelligent assets: fewer imbalances, higher availability, longer battery life, and better-controlled operating costs.
As Europe expands its solar capacity, predictive intelligence is becoming the key to balancing markets, stabilizing grids, and unlocking the full value of renewable power.
Romania’s CfD auctions are a key step in financing renewable energy projects. By guaranteeing fixed prices, they provide stability for investors, but the success of the program depends on key decisions regarding contract details, such as pricing mechanisms and guarantees.
RED III converts EU ambition into enforceable procedures like faster approvals, designated and “go-to” areas. Romania now faces an execution challenge.
