## Project summary

The Ișalnița BESS is planned for the Ișalnița solar farm in Dolj County as a 20 MW / 40 MWh system intended to shift renewable electricity from high-production periods to times of higher demand. OMV Petrom and Simtel Team have signed an EPC contract for the system. The source article is dated September 11, 2026, and says construction was expected to take around seven months from signing; it does not provide the contract date.

## Evidence limits and unknowns

- The contract-signing date is not stated, so the reported seven-month construction estimate cannot be translated into a calendar completion date.
- The source does not report whether BESS construction has since been completed or provide a current project-status update.
- The source reports that an EPC contract has been signed, but does not state whether any additional procurement scope remains available.

Current purchasing availability: unknown.
Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages.
