Technical connection approval
ATR conditions, validity, capacity assumptions, costs and contestation or clarification routes.
Grid connection and permitting
Grid connection and permitting advice for projects where deadlines carry value.
We advise on ATRs, connection agreements, permitting, land routes and development calendars where Romanian grid and authority risk can change price, financing or project survival.
01Connection status
We review whether grid rights support the transaction story.
02Permit sequencing
Urbanism, environment, land and building permits are checked together.
03Deadline control
Guarantee exposure and milestones are mapped before they harden.
Where we fit
Grid Connection, Permitting and Project Development in Romania
Grid connection and permitting are often the main value drivers in Romanian renewables and BESS. The legal work is not only document collection; it is sequencing, evidence, risk allocation and consistency between technical and legal files.
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.
Connection agreement
Deadlines, grid works, guarantees, tariffs, termination and connection certificate path.
Permitting roadmap
Urbanism certificate, environmental process, building permit and special endorsements.
Route and access rights
Cable routes, roads, substation land, easements and third-party rights.
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.
Read the grid file
Compare ATR, solution study, connection agreement, layout and project economics.
Map permitting dependencies
Identify permits, land rights and authority steps that can delay construction.
Control transaction pressure
Translate risks into CPs, long-stop dates, price logic and correspondence.
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 is an ATR in Romania?
The ATR is the technical connection approval that sets the technical and economic conditions for connecting an energy project to the grid.
Is an ATR enough to prove grid certainty?
No. Investors should also check the connection agreement, deadlines, guarantees, grid works, route rights and whether the ATR assumptions match the project.
What permits are needed before construction?
The path usually starts with the urbanism certificate and may include environmental, land, road, aviation, local and building permit steps, depending on the project and location.
