Renewable energy projects
Solar, wind, hybrid and project-development files from land control to COD and sale readiness.
Energy Law 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.
01Project risk
We read land, grid, permits, ANRE and contracts as one investment file.
02Market access
Licensing, route-to-market and regulatory status are tied to the commercial model.
03Execution
Diligence findings become CPs, contract protections, filings and dispute strategy.
Where we fit
Energy Law in Romania
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.
What we do
Concrete legal work, tied to investment decisions.
We do not isolate documents. We test how each item changes price, timing, bankability, signing risk or dispute posture.
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.
How we help
From legal review to usable decisions.
The output is designed for investors, lenders and management teams: priority risks, next actions, negotiation points and documents that need repair.
Triage the file
Identify the documents that change value first: ATR, land, permits, ANRE status, SPV history and contracts.
Map risk to action
Group issues by price impact, deadline pressure, remediation path, CP logic and dispute exposure.
Execute the path
Turn findings into filings, correspondence, contract drafting, closing steps or dispute strategy.
When we help
Useful before the file becomes expensive to fix.
Before exclusivity
When a teaser, data room or early seller claim needs a fast legal reality check.
Before filings or signing
When ANRE, grid, permitting or contract steps need to be sequenced against value.
Before financing or sale
When lenders or buyers will test bankability, transferability and project maturity.
When pressure appears
When delays, refusals, guarantee calls, disputes or authority correspondence need a record.

FAQ
Questions clients ask before instructing counsel.
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.
