Romania renewable energy M&A advisory

Renewable Energy Project Acquisition Advisory in Romania

We help investors, developers and infrastructure buyers identify, screen and acquire Romanian PV, BESS and hybrid renewable energy projects - from off-market sourcing to due diligence, transaction structuring and closing support.

Romania is one of the most active renewable energy markets in Central and Eastern Europe, but acquiring a credible PV, BESS or hybrid project requires more than access to a teaser.

Ready-to-build must be tested against land rights, grid connection status, permitting, ANRE requirements, construction feasibility, project finance expectations and transaction risk.

We help investors, developers, IPPs and infrastructure buyers identify, screen and acquire renewable energy projects in Romania - with a focus on bankable opportunities, not speculative pipeline.

Market opportunity

Romania's Renewable Energy Market Requires Local Intelligence

Romania offers strong opportunities for investors in photovoltaic, battery storage and hybrid renewable energy projects. However, the market is fragmented, relationship-driven and highly dependent on grid access, land control, permitting discipline and regulatory timing.

Many projects are presented as RTB or near-RTB, but not all of them are bankable, buildable or ready for institutional acquisition. A successful acquisition process requires access to real projects, early filtering, technical and legal screening, and a clear understanding of the Romanian energy and permitting environment.

Strong demand for PV, BESS and hybrid renewable projects.
Increasing investor interest in Romanian grid-connected assets.
Growing importance of storage and flexibility.
Fragmented developer landscape.
Many off-market opportunities.
Significant differences between marketed RTB status and bankable RTB status.
Grid, land and permitting risks must be assessed before pricing the project.

What we source

What Type of Projects We Help Buyers Find

We focus on credible Romanian renewable energy opportunities where the acquisition path can be tested against grid, land, permits, construction route and transaction risk.

PV Projects

Utility-scale photovoltaic projects in Romania, from advanced development to RTB or construction-ready stage.

BESS Projects

Stand-alone battery energy storage projects with grid connection potential, clear development status and bankability path.

Hybrid PV + BESS Projects

Projects combining renewable generation with storage capacity, designed for improved flexibility, revenue diversification and grid integration.

Near-RTB Projects

Projects that are not yet fully ready-to-build but have a credible path to RTB, subject to clear conditions and milestone-based valuation.

Operational or Late-Stage Assets

Selective opportunities involving operational renewable assets or projects close to COD, refinancing or acquisition.

Project Pipelines

Developer pipelines that may be suitable for platform acquisitions, co-development, joint ventures or staged investment.

RTB reality check

"Ready-to-Build" Is Not a Label. It Is a Bankability Test.

In Romania, RTB is often used as a commercial label. For serious buyers, the real question is whether the project can be acquired, financed, built and connected within the buyer's timeline. We help buyers distinguish between marketed RTB, legal RTB, technical RTB and bankable RTB.

Marketed RTB

  • Seller says the project is ready.
  • Documents may be incomplete.
  • Grid and land status may require verification.
  • Timeline may be optimistic.

Legal RTB

  • Key permits and rights are in place.
  • Project has a legal route to construction.
  • Land and corporate structure are reviewable.

Technical RTB

  • Project design, grid connection, layout, equipment assumptions and construction route are coherent.
  • EPC execution is realistically possible.

Bankable RTB

  • Project can satisfy investor, lender, EPC and transaction requirements.
  • Key risks are disclosed, priced and allocated.
  • The project can realistically move toward financial close and COD.
Our approach is simple: we do not treat a project as valuable because it is called RTB. We test whether it is actually buildable, financeable and transferable.

Sourcing process

How We Source Renewable Energy Projects

The best Romanian renewable energy opportunities are not always found on public lists. Many serious projects are sourced through direct developer relationships, EPC networks, technical consultants, grid specialists, equipment suppliers, land originators and local market intelligence.

Developers & Originators

We identify local and international developers with PV, BESS and hybrid projects at advanced development or RTB stage.

EPC Contractors

We track projects preparing for construction, EPC tendering or contractor selection.

Grid & Technical Consultants

We use market intelligence around grid studies, connection status and technical project maturity.

Equipment & Infrastructure Suppliers

We identify projects approaching procurement, construction or equipment quotation phases.

Local Market Relationships

We work with market participants who know which projects are genuinely available and which sellers are credible.

Off-Market Discussions

We support buyers in accessing projects before they are broadly marketed.

Initial screening

What We Check Before a Project Reaches the Buyer

Before a project is presented as a serious acquisition opportunity, it must pass an initial screening. This protects buyers from wasting time on speculative, incomplete or overpriced projects.

01

Project Identity

SPV, seller identity, shareholder structure, project location, technology, capacity and development history.

02

Land Control

Ownership, superficies, concession, lease rights, land book status, encumbrances, access rights, cable route and substation land.

03

Grid Connection

ATR status, grid connection agreement, connection point, voltage level, connection tariff, reinforcement works, guarantees, deadlines and curtailment exposure.

04

Permitting Status

Urbanism certificate, environmental decision, building permit, endorsements, local authority status and construction readiness.

05

Regulatory Status

ANRE establishment authorization requirements, licensing path, transfer/change implications and regulatory deadlines.

06

Technical Readiness

Layout, single-line diagram, yield assumptions, BESS configuration, grid studies, design maturity and EPC readiness.

07

Commercial Logic

Expected CAPEX, revenue model, PPA potential, merchant assumptions, balancing route, storage monetization and bankability.

08

Transaction Readiness

Data room quality, seller expectations, asking price, deal structure, exclusivity, SPA readiness and closing conditions.

Acquisition process

From Project Search to Closing

Step 1

Acquisition Mandate

We define the buyer's target: technology, size, grid profile, location, project stage, ticket size, timeline and risk appetite.

Step 2

Market Mapping

We identify potential projects, developers, originators and off-market opportunities.

Step 3

Anonymous Teaser Review

We review non-confidential project information before disclosure of sensitive project identity.

Step 4

NDA & Non-Circumvention

We structure confidentiality and introduction protection before detailed project information is exchanged.

Step 5

Data Room Access

We coordinate access to project documentation and organize the review process.

Step 6

Initial Red Flag Review

We assess land, grid, permits, corporate structure, regulatory status and transaction feasibility.

Step 7

NBO / LOI Support

We help shape a non-binding offer or letter of intent with proper assumptions, conditions and exclusivity.

Step 8

Due Diligence Coordination

We coordinate legal, technical, grid, tax, regulatory and commercial due diligence workstreams.

Step 9

Binding Offer & SPA Support

We support negotiation of price, warranties, indemnities, conditions precedent and transaction risk allocation.

Step 10

Closing & Post-Closing Roadmap

We help align the acquisition with EPC, financing, ANRE, grid, construction and COD planning.

Due diligence

Due Diligence Focus Areas for Romanian PV and BESS Projects

For Romanian renewable energy projects, due diligence is not a box-ticking exercise. It is a bankability audit.

A project may have documents, but still fail the acquisition test if land rights are weak, grid access is uncertain, permits are incomplete, deadlines are missed or the transaction structure does not protect the buyer.

Corporate Due Diligence

SPV ownership, UBO, corporate approvals, debts, contracts, litigation, related-party obligations and tax status.

Land Due Diligence

Land title, land book, superficies/lease/concession rights, access, cable route, substation land, encumbrances and long-term project rights.

Grid Due Diligence

ATR, connection agreement, operator correspondence, connection tariff, reinforcements, deadlines, guarantees, N/N-1 assumptions and firm/non-firm access.

Permitting Due Diligence

Urbanism certificate, environmental approvals, building permit, endorsements, challenges, validity, local authority risk and construction route.

Regulatory Due Diligence

ANRE establishment authorization, licensing requirements, operational licensing path, transfer implications and compliance deadlines.

Technical Due Diligence

Layout, capacity, equipment, single-line diagram, BESS configuration, grid studies, construction assumptions, EPC readiness and COD timeline.

Commercial Due Diligence

Revenue assumptions, PPA potential, merchant exposure, balancing, route-to-market, storage revenue stack and operational cost assumptions.

Transaction Due Diligence

SPA structure, CPs, warranties, indemnities, price adjustment, escrow, retention, seller obligations and post-closing support.
