Filing, reporting and change triggers are mapped before they become sanctions risk.

For energy investors, the issue is not only whether a licence exists. The question is whether the right entity holds the right regulatory status for the right activity at the right time.

Questions clients ask before instructing counsel.

Do I need an ANRE licence to produce electricity in Romania?

Electricity production and operation of energy capacities may require ANRE authorisation and licensing, depending on project status, capacity and activity. The exact route should be checked before investment or COD.

Can an ANRE licence be transferred automatically in a transaction?

Licence and authorisation issues should not be assumed to transfer automatically. Change-of-control, amendment and notification requirements must be checked case by case.

Does BESS need ANRE licensing in Romania?

Storage regulatory treatment depends on configuration and revenue model, including whether the project is standalone, co-located, behind-the-meter or linked to trading or aggregation activities.

Send the activity, project stage and existing ANRE documents.

We will identify the likely regulatory route and the filings, timing or due diligence issues that should be checked first.
