Hidroelectrica stock secures RON 296.8 million storage project

Hidroelectrica stock is tied to a RON 296.8 million battery storage investment at Portile de Fier II, a project that adds 64 MW of installed capacity and 434.76 MWh of storage. The company also entered the final quarter with first-half 2026 operating profit of RON 2.89 billion, up 65 percent from the comparable period.
Storage expands the portfolio
According to Marketscreener on September 10, 2026, Hidroelectrica awarded the battery storage contract to Synergy Construct after completing the public procurement process. The project is described as the largest battery storage capacity in the company's portfolio, with 43.4 million RON of funding from Romania's Modernization Fund.
The numbers point to a shift beyond conventional hydropower generation. Storage can move electricity into higher-value time intervals, while the 64 MW installation gives Hidroelectrica an additional operating tool when hydrological and market conditions change.
Profit recovery strengthens the case
Economedia reported on September 1, 2026, that first-half 2026 revenue reached RON 6.05 billion, an increase of 40 percent year over year, while operating profit rose 65 percent to RON 2.89 billion. The comparison matters because it places the storage commitment alongside a measurable improvement in the core business rather than treating the project as a standalone expansion.
Hidroelectrica's first-half net profit also rose 62 percent, according to the earnings information summarized by Marketscreener. That improvement gives investors two measurable reference points: the RON 296.8 million project and the 65 percent operating-profit increase in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Stock remains a Bucharest market story
Hidroelectrica traded at RON 170.20 on the Bucharest Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026. The company is included in the BET index, and the exchange lists H2O among its constituent companies.
Corporate governance is another dated checkpoint. BVB reported on September 21, 2026, that Hidroelectrica called an ordinary shareholders meeting for October 23, 2026. The meeting adds a governance date to the operating and investment milestones already visible in the stock story.
