Hagag Europe

What Hagag Europe does

Hagag Europe is a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed investor and developer, headquartered in Tel Aviv with operational headquarters in Bucharest, Romania. The company historically focused on Romanian real estate development spanning residential, commercial, retail, office, logistics, and hospitality projects, with individual project investments ranging from approximately €13 million to €80 million. Its core products in this segment are mixed-use developments emphasising sustainability, green certifications, and integrated urban ecosystems, monetised through one-time property sales and leases.

Since 2024-2025, Hagag Europe has executed a strategic pivot into energy infrastructure. It wholly acquired BTD Distribuție și Furnizare, an existing Romanian natural gas distribution operator, and consolidated energy activities under the Hagag Energy sub-brand. The natural gas business generates recurring subscription-style distribution revenues and is targeted for expansion by 64 new distribution networks within 24 months, with 200+ new Romanian jobs planned by end-2027. In parallel, Hagag signed a flagship co-development partnership with Israeli renewables developer Airengy to build a two-phase, €55 million compressed air energy storage (AirBattery) plant in Romania's salt caverns — a €4.5 million pilot (200 MWh) followed by a €50 million large-scale facility (25 MW discharge, 5 GWh storage), targeting utility-scale long-duration storage and grid stability, with construction set to begin in 2027 and commercial operation in early 2028. The company has publicly committed to investing more than €400 million across Romanian energy and property over the coming years, positioning itself as a vertically integrated multi-sector developer-investor in the Romanian market.
