BESS and storage Romania / Romania

Battery storage legal support where MW, MWh, grid and market model must align.

We advise investors, developers, lenders, OEMs, optimisers and industrial consumers on Romanian BESS and new energy infrastructure, including standalone storage, co-located projects and route-to-market structures.

Discuss your project

The decision in front of you

Can your storage configuration support the investment case?

BESS projects should not be treated as solar projects with containers. Their legal risk depends on configuration, connection profile, ANRE treatment, technical compliance, fire safety, warranties and the route-to-market contract stack.

Our response

A clear position. A practical next step.

We distinguish standalone, co-located, production-linked and behind-the-meter storage. Optimisation, tolling, trading and ancillary-service assumptions are reviewed cautiously.

What we do for you

We agree the depth of the review and the work needed for your decision. The scope can cover the following workstreams.

01

Legal classification

Standalone storage, co-located BESS, production plus storage, consumption plus storage and hybrid models.

02

Connection and capacity

ATR, connection agreement, import/export profile, capacity assumptions and guarantees.

03

Regulatory status

Authorisation, licensing and market-role analysis based on configuration and revenue model.

04

Land, building and safety

Site rights, building permit, environmental status, fire safety and insurance interfaces.

05

EPC, supply and O&M

Degradation, availability, augmentation, warranties, performance and safety obligations.

06

Optimisation and tolling

Route-to-market, trading, balancing, ancillary-service assumptions and liability allocation.

From instruction to delivery

How we move your matter forward

Clear responsibilities, a documented position and actions tied to the next decision.

  1. 01

    Define configuration

    Separate MW, MWh, import, export and operational profile before legal conclusions.

  2. 02

    Align contracts

    Match OEM, EPC, O&M, optimiser and lender documents.

  3. 03

    Test bankability

    Review whether grid, revenue, warranty and step-in assumptions can survive diligence.

First conversation

Start with the essentials

  • BESS layout
  • grid import/export rights
  • ANRE position
  • EPC
  • O&M
  • warranties
  • fire safety
  • route-to-market contracts
Begin with a non-confidential summary and your timetable. We agree the document exchange after checking conflicts and the scope of the mandate.

Questions before you instruct us

Does a BESS project need ANRE authorisation in Romania?

The answer depends on configuration, capacity, grid status and market role. Standalone, co-located and behind-the-meter projects should be checked separately.

What is the difference between MW and MWh in legal review?

MW concerns power and grid capacity, while MWh concerns storage energy capacity. Contracts and permits should avoid confusing these metrics.

What should a BESS EPC contract include?

It should address scope, testing, degradation, availability, augmentation, warranties, safety, delay, performance security and interfaces with grid and market contracts.
