We are excited to share our latest valuation insights on a significant solar M&A transaction in Romania. Here are the key points:

🔹 Deal Overview:

  -- OMV Group to acquire a 50% stake in a 130 MW solar portfolio in Romania from Renovatio Group

  -- The projects, in late-stage development, have already obtained access to the transmission grid

💰 Valuation Estimates:

  -- Enerdatics estimates the deal multiple at $0.5mn/MW, equating to a transaction enterprise value of ~$33mn

  -- This estimate aligns with observed deal valuations for advanced development solar projects in Romania, such as Nofar Energy's $130mn acquisition in Dec'23, at a multiple of $0.6mn/MW

📈 Market Context:

  -- The estimate accounts for the projects selling power on a merchant basis, currently the predominant route to market for renewables projects in Romania

  -- This is likely to change soon, as the Romanian government has proposed CfD rounds for 5 GW of solar and onshore wind capacity

  -- The first auction will award tariffs of €91/MWh for solar projects and €93/MWh for wind projects through 15-year contracts
