Energy M&A Romania / Romania

Energy transactions where diligence must read the project, not only the SPV.

We assist buyers, sellers, lenders and developers with Romanian renewable and BESS transactions, including legal due diligence, red flag reports, SPAs, CPs, bankability and financing support.

Discuss your project

The decision in front of you

Which risks must be resolved before you commit capital?

Romanian energy M&A is rarely just corporate title. Project value sits in ATR quality, land control, permits, ANRE status, contracts, technical assumptions and whether a lender or buyer can rely on the file.

Our response

A clear position. A practical next step.

We test whether project value is supported by land, grid, permits and contracts. We translate diligence into CPs, security and bankability conditions.

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

Buy-side and sell-side review

Land, permits, grid, ANRE, contracts, litigation, SPV and authority correspondence.

02

Risk allocation

Conditions precedent, warranties, indemnities, price adjustment, retentions and earn-outs.

03

Project maturity testing

Whether RTB, near-RTB or early-stage status is supported by evidence.

04

Lender diligence

Bankability reports, legal opinions, CP checklists and security package review.

05

Project document review

EPC, O&M, PPA, direct agreements and assignment restrictions.

06

Execution discipline

Closing agendas, corporate approvals, filings and post-closing regulatory steps.

Questions before you instruct us

What is checked in renewable energy due diligence in Romania?

Diligence should cover SPV title, land, permits, ATR, connection agreement, ANRE, contracts, litigation, authority correspondence and financial/legal assumptions.

Can grid rights be transferred in Romania?

Transferability and continuity of grid rights must be checked against the project structure, ATR, connection agreement, project company and regulatory context.

What does RTB mean in energy M&A?

RTB should be defined in the transaction documents by reference to specific permits, grid documents, land rights, ANRE status and project contracts.
