Every engagement follows the same five stages — from a free qualification call to long-term operations. Scope and terms are set in writing before any work begins.
A short video call. We let you describe the mandate before we describe ourselves. We classify the fit, and where we are not the right partner, we name two alternatives.
For Tier A institutional capital (tickets ≥ €50M or strategic mandates), discovery can also be hosted in person in Cluj-Napoca, with a same-day site visit to one of our Transylvania pipeline projects.
A fixed-scope written assessment. Used for first-time investors testing the market, or existing investors verifying a specific opportunity before committing. Deliverable is in writing, citation-heavy, and signed by the author.
The core engagement. We take on a single defined outcome — one project sourced, one financing structure built, one EPC tender run — or a coordinated multi-product program for investors building a Romanian position. Terms are set in the engagement letter.
The work itself. Milestone payments tie our compensation to delivery. Success fees apply where alignment with closing is appropriate — and only where alignment is appropriate. We do not bill success fees on advisory work that did not close on our scope.
After commercial operation date, we transition (if you want) into operations and asset management — keeping the project running on behalf of remote owners. This stage is optional but recommended for capital deployers without a Romanian operating team.
The right format depends on how deep and how fast you want to move. Pricing and full scope are shared after a short qualification call.
A focused first read on whether Romania belongs in your portfolio — the market, the regulatory frame, and where your capital would fit. You leave with a clear written view and a concrete recommendation on the next step.
For the investor who has decided Romania fits and wants to move. We turn intent into a concrete entry path — screened opportunities, the right local partners, and a roadmap you can act on within weeks.
A local executive desk on the ground for you — company, banking, sourcing and coordination handled under one accountable relationship, so you operate in Romania without first building a team.
We work through three structured engagement formats. Scope, price, currency and terms are set in writing in the engagement letter, after a short qualification call — never as an open-ended meter. Full pricing is shared privately with qualified investors rather than published.
On engagements where alignment with closing is appropriate, yes. Specific structures vary by region (Turkey, Europe, Gulf SWF) and are shared in writing after the discovery call. We do not bill success fees on advisory work that did not close on our scope.
SolarPlants is the commercial brand. VerdeVolt Proiect S.R.L. (since 2016, holds ANRE D1 attestation no. 21749 / 27 May 2024) is the legal entity that signs engagement letters, holds the bank accounts, and bears regulatory accountability. Green Balkans Energy was an earlier vehicle, kept on file for audit trail only.
No. We screen against EU + OFAC sanctions lists as a condition of any engagement, and decline mandates where source of funds cannot be verified. This is not negotiable.
Yes, under bespoke MSA structures with enhanced KYC, FDI pre-screening, and (where requested) Sharia-compatible Wakala advisory framework. Engagement letters in English-only with English governing law. Reference calls available on 48-hour notice for serious mandates.
We do not. Each Romanian project we source is either under exclusive introduction to one investor or — where co-investment is desired — syndicated with the explicit written consent of all parties at LOI stage. We disclose the structure before any project specifics are shared.
No deck. No pitch. You describe the mandate first; we classify the fit.
NDA before any project intro · KYC + FDI pre-screen + conflicts cleared in 5–14 working days before engagement begins.
