Landowner guide: Leasing land for energy in Romania

Key considerations for Romanian landowners when leasing property for solar, wind, or battery projects.

Lease vs Surface rights

Developers usually seek a 'superficie' right, which is stronger than a standard lease and provides better security for financing.

Ensuring the land is properly registered in the ANCPI cadastre is essential for any legal agreement.

Lease terms often span 25 to 30 years, reflecting the operational life of the energy assets.

Landowners should consider how the project will affect their eligibility for agricultural subsidies and future land use.

This is a general overview, not legal advice. Rules change; check with the local authority and a local adviser before committing.
