Romanian renewable energy advisory
Evidence for the next energy decision.
Sol Associates advises investors, developers and energy businesses on Romanian wind, solar and battery-storage projects. Typical work: technical and grid due diligence on a wind, solar or storage project, permitting and connection review, and transaction support. Each mandate is scoped to one decision and ends in a written findings note with a clear recommendation: proceed, hold or re-scope.

KP1 storage call, EUR 150 million
Closes 30 October 2026The Modernisation Fund KP1 submission window closes on 30 October 2026 at 14:00 Bucharest time.
KP1 is the Romanian Modernisation Fund call for battery-storage projects. It matters to storage developers and their lenders.

Your perspective
Start with the decision in front of you.
The same project looks different to an investor, a developer and a delivery partner. Select your perspective to see the first questions we would test.
See the asset behind the investment case.
Understand how resource, grid, delivery and commercial assumptions fit together before committing capital.
- 01What evidence supports the project’s current status?
- 02Which assumptions have the greatest effect on value and return?
- 03What must happen before the asset can operate?
How we work
Clear evidence. Defined responsibility. Human accountability.
Engineering meets economics.
Technical choices are read alongside cost, schedule, contracts and risk, with the consequence for the decision kept in view.
The mandate defines the role.
Scope, specialist responsibility, reliance limits and the next decision are agreed for the assignment.
Explore by technology and by project phase
Project and technology explorer
Different technologies. One connected investment case.
Physical performance, grid access, delivery scope and project economics move together. Explore the measures that connect each technology to an investable and operable asset.
A turbine is only part of the wind project.
Resource quality, turbine suitability, wakes, electrical losses and availability shape energy yield. Civil works and grid infrastructure connect that yield to a deliverable project.
Annual energy production, commonly expressed in MWh or GWh per year. State whether the estimate is gross or net and which losses are included.
Project lifecycle
Each phase creates the evidence the next one needs.
Follow the dependencies that connect an early opportunity to an operating asset.
Define the opportunity.
Decision: decide whether the opportunity warrants further work. Evidence required: location, technology, constraints and open questions. Typical scoped output: opportunity screen. Next dependency: a defined development pathway.
Advisory
Four workstreams around one project decision.
The mandate defines the question, evidence, responsible specialists and reliance limits. Sol coordinates the work needed for that scope.
Development and permitting
Define the path from site opportunity to project readiness by examining land, access, layout, permitting and grid dependencies.
Explore development and permittingTechnical and engineering
Test resource, performance, design and interface assumptions with the relevant technical specialists identified for the assignment.
Explore technical and engineeringTransactions and finance
Connect diligence findings, commercial contracts and financial assumptions with value, risk and the decision to proceed.
Explore transactions and financeProject and construction
Review programme, procurement packages, interfaces, handovers and acceptance. State whether the role is advisory, owner’s-engineering coordination, EPCM support or construction management.
