The investment case is nevertheless narrower than the headline narrative. Public evidence proves grid pressure and solar capture-price risk; it does not yet quantify national or regional solar curtailment at a level sufficient to underwrite avoided-curtailment revenue. The recommended strategy is therefore node-led hybridisation with site-level investment gates, not fleet-wide BESS deployment.","market_period":"Focused market case study","published_at":"2026-08-11 23:56:53","path":"/case-studies/2026-08-11-co-located-bess-merits-selective-expansion-not-a-blanket-curtailment-hedge","url":"https://solarindustry.ro/case-studies/2026-08-11-co-located-bess-merits-selective-expansion-not-a-blanket-curtailment-hedge","citation":"Solar Industry Romania. “Co-located BESS merits selective expansion.
