  "keyFacts": [
    "Grid connection (Order 20/2025): prioritization by documentation completeness; mandatory guarantee (often 5% of connection fee) within 2 months of grid study; automatic validity cessation for missed construction milestones.",
    "Licensing (Order 6/2025): supply/trading up to €200k and minimum 3 employees; generation/storage minimum 2 licensed electricians; dedicated offshore wind (Black Sea) framework.",
    "Green certificates & storage (Order 27/2025): obligation extended to storage operators for energy to final consumers via direct lines; double-taxation relief (OUG 134/2024) for re-injected stored energy."
  ],
  "keyTakeaways": [
    "Documentation management: ensure completeness to benefit from prioritization. Financial strategy: manage the 2-month window for guarantees to avoid dismissal. Timeline protection: monitor milestones to prevent automatic cessation of connection rights.",
    "Licensing: generation & storage (2 electricians from March 2025), supply & trading (€200k, 3 employees), offshore wind (concession and exploration permits). We advise on applications, compliance, and modifications when parameters or shareholders change.",
    "Why choose: proven compliance with 2025 capital and staffing requirements; sector expertise from traditional generation to Offshore Wind and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems); results-oriented support to reach Commercial Operation Date (COD)."
