The decisions that change who produces what in Romania: new plants, listings, the state selling what it owns, companies changing hands. Every entry is dated and links to its source.
Big investments, listings, state stake sales, takeovers and PNRR projects, each dated and sourced.

Nofar Energy, an Israeli developer, said on 15 September that it had signed an agreement with an international supplier for battery storage systems totalling 1.09 GWh at two solar projects it is building in Romania, for about €103 million.

The contract is part of a modernisation programme the company values at 552.9 million lei, funded by state support and its own money. The programme also covers 5.56 x 45 mm ammunition capacity, due in November 2026, and a hall upgrade due in December 2026.

OMV Petrom said on 10 September that it had invested about €115 million in the electrical infrastructure of its Petrobrazi refinery: a high-voltage line connected directly to a Transelectrica substation, a new electrical substation and a power-distribution substation. The company says the network supports current refining and the capacity it is developing for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), HVO and green hydrogen.
What counts. A move is a decision that changes who produces what in Romania: a large investment with a stated amount, a listing or share offering on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, the state selling or buying a stake, a company changing hands, or a project paid for by the PNRR.
Announced is not done. Each entry shows its status. An investment announced is a plan; one marked in force has happened. When a plan is dropped or replaced, the entry says so rather than disappearing.
Sources. Every entry links to the document behind it: the company’s or the exchange’s announcement, the ministry’s decision, the Commission’s notice. Press coverage is used only when no primary document exists.
