“Our main priority in Romania and the Balkans is to extend the success SolaX has had in the residential PV + storage segment and scale that know-how into the C&I and utility markets.

We want to use the same proven control algorithms, energy management strategies and system architecture that worked so well in homes and apply them to larger projects with our new product range,” Robert Kenderessy, Regional Sales Manager Balkans Area at SolaX Power told The Diplomat-Bucharest.

“The main market demand for 2026 is related to large utility storage systems. SolaX comes with a premium product, called ORI: Original, Robust, Intelligent. Since the first months of its official launch in Europe, the company can boast of a project signed in the UK with an impressive total power: 2000 MWh. This will be implemented in the first half of 2026. On the Romanian market, we started promoting the ORI product in November and we expect the first contracts to be signed in Q1 2026.”

West Beton, part of West Group, produced and delivered through its three production sites more than 200,000 cubic meters of ready-mix concrete in 2025. Over 90% of total deliveries went to residential projects, including HILLS Nord, the third phase of Nusco City, and developments by companies such as Hagag or Pedro Construct. The rest of the deliveries went to major infrastructure projects, such as Bucharest Metro Line 6 and several sections of the A0 motorway.

“In the context of a significant decline of the ready-mix concrete market in 2025, West Beton’s output increased by 25%. This result is a direct consequence of the investments worth over EUR 2.5 million that we made this year in this West Group business line, which generated almost one third of the Group’s consolidated turnover in Romania and Germany”, said Dan Crăciunescu, founder of West Group. “In 2026 we will continue our investment plan, with a budget similar to this year’s, of over EUR 2.5 million, and our objective for next year is to expand into other regions of Romania and achieve a sustainable 25% increase in West Beton’s production”, added Dan Crăciunescu.

Companies and local authorities will have over 1.5 billion euros in grants available for investment in energy and energy efficiency at the beginning of next year, given that, in Romania, more than 70,000 MW of new photovoltaic projects are in various stages of development, with grid connection contracts already signed, according to data from REI, a group of companies specializing in attracting non-reimbursable financing through European funds and state aid.

„Interest in investing in photovoltaic parks or increasing energy efficiency in manufacturing has exploded since 2022, with the onset of the energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Since 2023, the authorities have been preparing a series of funding programs designed to stimulate investment in green energy, and in recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in applications through funding schemes, as well as in projects carried out independently. Estimates show that, at present, contracts have been signed for the grid connection of over 70,000 MW of new solar energy projects.”, according to Roxana Mircea, managing partner at REI.
