CONTEXT
The vast majority of renewables projects in Romania are yet to reach
the operational stage. Over 10.000 of MW in capacity will be subject
of intense restructuring and changes of ownership for the next 12 to 24
months.
However, before the shovel hits the ground, a lot of work you have
been already done in the development of renewable energy projects.
Small or large, developers teamed up with engineering and consulting
companies and you prepared the plans and studies, to grant most of the
authorizations and approvals.
When ready to build, most of your projects are sold to a long-term
owner who will take on the responsibility of building the project –
such as infrastructure investment funds, utility companies, independent
power producers or large consumers interested in hedging their future
energy bills.
At the same time, you have already put in place around 5 GWs during
the first of investment in the Romanian renewables, a decade ago.
More than 1.3 GWs in solar and over 3 GWs in wind capacity need
some qualified attention for remaining in the market.
GOAL
We aim at following the flow of money into
renewable energy projects to identify the most
suitable partners for you and to present
solutions to the most plausible challenges you
might encounter.
Throughout the day we will provide an
overview of the latest market developments,
share best practices in EPC, O&M, and Asset
Management, while discovering emerging
technologies and trends.
