Sorin Dinu, analist economic: Iluzia stocării de energie în baterii lasă România pe avarii, în prag de criză • Newsweek România

Sorin Dinu, an economic analyst, highlights the misconceptions surrounding energy storage in Romania, emphasizing the limited capacity of batteries and the risks of blackouts. He criticizes the confusion between power (MW) and actual capacity (MWh), which leads to a false sense of energy security. Dinu points out that current battery systems can only operate for 2-4 hours, insufficient for prolonged periods without renewable energy. He also discusses the historical political decisions that have hindered the energy sector's development, resulting in a vulnerable network. The analyst warns that the reliance on battery storage is a temporary solution rather than a sustainable fix for energy independence.
