Vienna, Austria – BlackSwan Capital has been mandated to support the sale of a portfolio comprising more than 700 MW of onshore wind projects currently under development in Romania, further expanding the firm’s renewable energy advisory activities across Central and Eastern Europe.
The mandate is the result of the close cooperation between BlackSwan Capital and its long-standing strategic cooperation partner Celynx AG. It also reflects the strength of BlackSwan Capital’s international partner network, combining deep local market expertise with global investor access and extensive transaction experience.
The portfolio represents a significant opportunity for international investors seeking exposure to one of Europe’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets at a time when energy security, electrification and decarbonisation are reshaping investment priorities across the continent.
Romania: One of Europe’s Most Promising Renewable Energy Markets
Romania has rapidly emerged as one of the most attractive destinations for renewable energy investment within the European Union.
Supported by ambitious climate targets, substantial European funding, increasing electricity demand and continued investment into transmission infrastructure, the country is entering a new phase of renewable energy expansion. At the same time, ageing conventional power generation assets are gradually being replaced by modern low-carbon technologies, creating significant opportunities for project developers and investors alike.
Particularly in the Dobrogea region, Romania offers some of the strongest onshore wind conditions in continental Europe. Combined with competitive development costs and an increasingly mature regulatory environment, the market continues to attract growing interest from infrastructure funds, utilities, pension funds and other institutional investors seeking long-term, sustainable investments.
As Europe accelerates the electrification of transport, industry, heating and digital infrastructure, Romania is expected to play an increasingly important role in strengthening the continent’s renewable energy capacity.
Why Onshore Wind Continues to Matter
Europe’s energy transition will not be driven by a single technology.
While solar photovoltaic capacity continues to expand rapidly, onshore wind remains an essential pillar of a resilient and diversified electricity system. Wind generation complements solar production by delivering electricity during the night, throughout winter and during periods of reduced solar irradiation.
Together with battery energy storage systems, flexible generation and modern transmission infrastructure, wind energy forms a critical component of Europe’s future energy mix. For investors, onshore wind continues to offer an attractive combination of proven technology, scalable deployment and long-term demand fundamentals.
Connecting International Capital with High-Quality Projects
BlackSwan Capital will leverage its extensive international network of institutional investors, infrastructure funds, utilities, strategic energy companies and family offices to support the successful placement of the portfolio.
The mandate further strengthens BlackSwan Capital’s growing renewable energy advisory platform, which today spans solar PV, onshore and offshore wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), hydrogen, hydropower and related energy infrastructure across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
By combining local market intelligence with global capital markets expertise, BlackSwan Capital continues to create value for both project developers and international investors through disciplined transaction execution and long-term partnerships.
A Partnership Built on International Expertise
The successful acquisition of this mandate highlights the close collaboration between BlackSwan Capital and Celynx AG.
For many years, both organisations have worked together to identify and develop investment opportunities across European renewable energy markets. The combination of Celynx AG’s regional expertise and BlackSwan Capital’s international capital markets platform creates a powerful foundation for complex cross-border transactions.
Statement – Mats Lundin, Associated Partner, BlackSwan Capital and CEO of Celynx AG
„Romania has all the ingredients to become one of Europe’s leading renewable energy markets. Outstanding wind resources, growing electricity demand and continued investment into the country’s energy infrastructure create an attractive environment for long-term investors. I am particularly pleased that the close cooperation between Celynx AG and BlackSwan Capital has resulted in this important mandate. It demonstrates how strong partnerships, local market knowledge and international investor relationships can create real value for project developers and capital providers alike.“
Statement – Martin Wolfram Steininger, Chairman & CEO, BlackSwan Capital
„At BlackSwan Capital, we believe that successful cross-border transactions are built on trust, local expertise and global execution capabilities. Our cooperation with Mats Lundin and Celynx AG is an excellent example of this philosophy in action. Romania is emerging as one of Europe’s most compelling renewable energy markets, and we are proud to support the successful placement of this substantial wind portfolio through our international investor network. This mandate represents another important milestone in the continued expansion of our renewable energy advisory platform across Europe.“
Looking Ahead
The European energy transition continues to create unprecedented investment opportunities.
As countries seek to strengthen energy independence, modernise their electricity systems and achieve ambitious climate targets, markets such as Romania are expected to attract increasing levels of international capital.
Through its expanding global network of partners, investors and industry experts, BlackSwan Capital remains committed to supporting high-quality energy infrastructure projects and delivering sophisticated financial advisory services across the full spectrum of the renewable energy sector.
For BlackSwan Capital, this mandate is more than another transaction. It represents another step in building a truly international renewable energy advisory platform—connecting outstanding projects with the capital and expertise required to accelerate Europe’s energy transition.
When capital is critical, execution matters.
