Energy Law Romania / Romania
Energy law for Romanian projects investors can actually build, finance and defend.
We advise investors, developers, lenders, industrial buyers and market participants on Romanian energy projects, from first market entry and project diligence to grid, ANRE, contracts, financing and disputes.
Discuss your projectThe decision in front of you
Keep the legal work aligned with the investment.
Romanian energy projects rarely fail because one document is missing. They become difficult when grid capacity, land rights, permitting, ANRE status, project contracts and financing assumptions are reviewed separately. Our role is to translate technical and regulatory status into legal risk that investors, lenders and management teams can act on.
Our response
A clear position. A practical next step.
We read land, grid, permits, ANRE and contracts as one investment file. Diligence findings become CPs, contract protections, filings and dispute strategy.
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.
Regulatory and ANRE licensing
Establishment authorisations, generation, supply, trading, aggregation and compliance questions.
Grid connection and permitting
ATR, connection agreements, capacity, guarantees, land route rights and development calendars.
PPAs and energy contracts
Corporate PPAs, route-to-market, EPC, O&M, supply, balancing and interface contracts.
M&A, due diligence and finance
Buy-side, sell-side and lender review of project companies and energy assets.
Battery storage and new infrastructure
Standalone storage, co-located BESS, hybrid assets and flexibility-related structures.
Energy disputes and regulatory litigation
Grid, ANRE, permits, guarantees, EPC, PPA and transaction disputes.

Questions before you instruct us
What does an energy lawyer in Romania usually review?
The core review usually covers land, permits, ATR and grid connection, ANRE authorisations or licences, project contracts, corporate title, financing assumptions and disputes or authority correspondence.
Can foreign investors own renewable energy projects in Romania?
Foreign investors commonly structure Romanian renewable energy investments through Romanian project companies, but the corporate, regulatory and licensing route should be checked for each activity and investor profile.
Is ANRE licensing enough to make a project bankable?
No. ANRE status matters, but bankability also depends on grid rights, land control, permits, contracts, technical status, financing documents and the project company's legal history.
