Grid connection and permitting / Romania

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.

Discuss your project

The decision in front of you

Will the connection file support your project timetable?

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.

Our response

A clear position. A practical next step.

We review whether grid rights support the transaction story. Guarantee exposure and milestones are mapped before they harden.

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

Technical connection approval

ATR conditions, validity, capacity assumptions, costs and contestation or clarification routes.

02

Connection agreement

Deadlines, grid works, guarantees, tariffs, termination and connection certificate path.

03

Permitting roadmap

Urbanism certificate, environmental process, building permit and special endorsements.

04

Route and access rights

Cable routes, roads, substation land, easements and third-party rights.

05

Allocation and guarantees

Capacity allocation, financial guarantees and transitional issues after current legal verification.

06

Authority correspondence

DSO, Transelectrica, local authority and environmental authority records preserved for value and disputes.

From instruction to delivery

How we move your matter forward

  1. 01

    Read the grid file

    Compare ATR, solution study, connection agreement, layout and project economics.

  2. 02

    Map permitting dependencies

    Identify permits, land rights and authority steps that can delay construction.

  3. 03

    Control transaction pressure

    Translate risks into CPs, long-stop dates, price logic and correspondence.

First conversation

Start with the essentials

  • ATR
  • solution study
  • connection contract
  • grid guarantees
  • route rights
  • building permit
  • environmental approvals
Begin with a non-confidential summary and your timetable. We agree the document exchange after checking conflicts and the scope of the mandate.

Questions before you instruct us

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.
