Notes from the field.

Due diligence & bankability

A good LTA should not only tell you what is wrong with a project

A long list of risks does not finance a project. The value of a Lender’s Technical Advisor is showing which risks matter and how to bring them to an acceptable level.

Market & grid

Want to know how competitive an economy can become? Look at its energy bill

Affordable, secure energy underpins industry, investment and household income. Romania has the ingredients to turn it into a national advantage.

BESS

BESS in Romania: really worth the hype?

Yes – but not every project. Five questions on grid, revenues, technology, economics and execution that separate a PowerPoint project from a real asset.

Project management

A good Project Manager doesn’t just manage the schedule. He creates speed.

In renewables, speed is part of the business case. The best PMs see critical-path decisions early and push when a decision can no longer wait.

Due diligence & bankability

Not every project is an investment opportunity

Perhaps no more than 10% of approved projects are ever built. The difference is the quality of the technical due diligence, not the business plan.

Owner’s Engineering

AI can process information. But can it take responsibility?

AI speeds up Owner’s Engineer work. Deciding which risk is critical, and what to escalate today, still has to sit with an engineer.

Owner’s Engineering

The biggest risk is not the technology. It’s the choice of partners.

On a project worth hundreds of millions, the Owner’s Engineer is the investor’s technical representative – anticipating risks and finding solutions, not just non-conformities.

Due diligence & bankability

Bankable projects don’t happen by chance. They are engineered.

Technical due diligence should be a management tool used throughout development, not just an independent report at the end.
