IFC backs Aukera’s Romania battery expansion with EUR 48.5 million

SolarNews Brief

Aukera Energy has secured EUR 48.5 million from IFC for the second phase of its Gura Ialomitei battery project in Romania. The expansion will add 100 MW / 200 MWh, lifting the site to 250 MW / 500 MWh when completed in early 2027.

SolarQuarter says the first 150 MW / 300 MWh phase entered commercial operation in June 2026 after a EUR 60 million loan from Kommunalkredit Austria. The IFC-backed second phase takes total project debt above EUR 100 million from international finance institutions. Once complete, the Gura Ialomitei site is expected to be Romania’s largest operational battery storage facility and one of the largest standalone storage projects in Central and Eastern Europe.
