The company is bringing its proprietary platform for the management, automation, and optimization of energy assets to the local market, at a time when Romania is accelerating the development of storage projects and the integration of renewable energy capacities.
ADEX Energy, a technology company for the energy industry founded in Bulgaria, announces its entry into the Romanian market with the appointment of Mihai-Florin Necula as Country Manager.
ADEX Energy develops end-to-end software solutions for smart energy management, asset automation, and the optimization of renewable energy and storage portfolios. The company’s platform integrates EMS, SCADA, real-time monitoring, cloud-based dashboards, forecasting, and automatic optimization in energy markets, helping producers, investors, and operators improve the performance of their energy assets.
The entry into the local market comes at a time when Romania is becoming one of the key markets in Southeast Europe for the development of battery storage capacity, the accelerated integration of renewable energy, and the growing need for flexibility in the energy system.
ADEX Energy brings proven regional expertise to Romania, backed by over 4,000 connected renewable energy assets across Southeast Europe — spanning solar, wind, and storage — with a total managed capacity exceeding 5 GW, including more than 13 GWh of BESS.
ADEX Energy’s expansion is supported by its strategic partnership with SUNOTEC, one of Europe’s leading integrators of utility-scale photovoltaic projects and battery energy storage systems. SUNOTEC’s investment in ADEX Energy validates the technology, business model, and growth potential of the Bulgarian company, in a European context where SUNOTEC and Blackstone announced, in April 2026, a €250 million partnership to accelerate the expansion of renewable infrastructure.
“The Romanian energy sector is undergoing a remarkable transformation, accelerated by the development of battery energy storage systems. There could not be a more opportune moment to bring the next-generation energy management solutions developed by ADEX Energy to the local market. Market players now understand that a battery without smart control remains merely a technical asset. The real value emerges when storage is integrated, automated, and optimized according to the market, the grid, and investors’ objectives. This is the expertise that ADEX Energy brings to Romania, and I am pleased to contribute to the company’s development in a market with such great potential for the future of energy,” stated Mihai-Florin Necula, Country Manager of ADEX Energy Romania.
Mihai-Florin Necula has over 17 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, with a proven track record in developing, building, and scaling multi-GW portfolios of wind, solar, and battery storage projects in Romania and Central and Eastern Europe. His operational experience and knowledge of the local market will support ADEX Energy’s expansion in Romania and position the company as a technology partner for the next phase of development in the energy sector.
“We are delighted to have Mihai-Florin Necula on board because he brings solid market experience and a shared vision of the opportunities that smart energy management can generate in one of the most dynamic energy markets in Southeast Europe,” says Petar Nenov, founder and CEO of ADEX Energy.
By entering the local market, ADEX Energy is capitalizing on a clear need in the sector: the shift from simply installing storage capacity to operating it intelligently. Without control, automation, and continuous optimization, storage remains a technical asset. With an integrated energy management platform, it can become a tool for flexibility, operational efficiency, and recurring revenue for investors and operators.
