Restart Energy

What Restart Energy does

Restart Energy is a Romanian renewable energy company founded in 2015 by Armand Domuța, operating under the legal entity RESTART ENERGY ONE S.A. The company is headquartered in Timișoara, Romania, with an additional office in Bucharest, and employs 101–250 people. It serves both business and residential customers in Romania through a vertically integrated model that combines licensed electricity and natural gas supply (furnizor) with end-to-end photovoltaic EPC capabilities. As of late 2024, Restart Energy has implemented more than 120 photovoltaic projects, supplied over 1 billion kWh of green energy, and helped clients avoid more than 500,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

The company's core technology is built around photovoltaic systems — solar panels, rooftop and ground-mounted installations, energy storage, cogeneration, and agrivoltaic configurations — complemented by the RED Platform and RED Carbon Standard sub-brands for carbon footprint measurement. Sub-brands include Restart Solar (commercial/industrial all-inclusive solar with up to 50% electricity cost reduction), Energy Go (residential supply), and the Agrovoltaics subsidiary, which is developing a 500 MW utility-scale photovoltaic park with a grid connection contract signed with Transelectrica in June 2024. Service lines span EPC (commercial, industrial, and utility-scale), prosumer documentation and installation, cogeneration, energy storage, grid connection, ESCO financing, long-term PPAs, asset management, and O&M.

Restart Energy generates revenue through a mix of one-time EPC contracts (€300K–€600K+ per commercial project), recurring energy supply subscriptions, long-term PPAs, O&M and asset management fees, ESCO-financed projects, and sale of residential photovoltaic kits. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with enterprise field sales for large commercial/industrial projects and dedicated residential channels; marketing is supported by content, PR, and a client portal. The customer base spans 100+ companies across manufacturing, agriculture, water utilities, food production, and trading, with no disclosed institutional investor backing — the company is privately held and founder-controlled.
