We advise clients on the development of renewable energy projects, from the initial feasibility stage to obtaining the necessary permits and approvals. Our team helps navigate the regulatory landscape, including land use permits, environmental impact assessments, grid connection agreements, and community consultations. We also support clients in addressing environmental concerns and ensuring that projects comply with sustainability standards.

Securing financing for renewable energy projects is critical to their success. Our team has extensive experience in structuring and securing funding for renewable energy projects, including project finance, green bonds, private equity, and debt financing. We assist clients in negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs), contracts for difference (CfDs), and other financing mechanisms that are crucial to the long-term viability of renewable energy investments.

We provide legal support in negotiating and drafting key contracts for renewable energy projects, including PPAs, EPC contracts, and operation and maintenance agreements. Our team ensures that contracts are structured to mitigate risks, maximise value, and reflect the latest industry standards. We also assist clients in securing long-term off-take agreements, which are crucial for the financial success of renewable energy projects.

Wind and solar energy are among the most established and rapidly growing renewable energy technologies. We assist clients in developing, financing, and operating wind and solar projects, including onshore and offshore wind farms and large-scale solar installations. Our team has in-depth knowledge of the unique challenges and opportunities of these technologies, including grid integration, land acquisition, and securing necessary permits.

Hydropower and biomass are important sources of renewable energy, providing reliable, low-carbon electricity. We offer legal guidance on the development of hydropower plants, from small-scale run-of-river projects to large-scale dams, as well as the development of biomass power plants and waste-to-energy projects. We help clients navigate the regulatory environment and secure financing for these long-term, capital-intensive projects.

Geothermal energy offers an attractive renewable solution, particularly in regions with high geothermal potential. We support clients in exploring and developing geothermal resources for electricity generation and direct use applications. Our team provides legal advice on resource rights, project financing, environmental compliance, and the complex technical and regulatory issues associated with geothermal projects.

Integrating renewable energy into the grid and managing its intermittency is a major challenge. Our team provides guidance on grid connection agreements, transmission access, and energy storage solutions, helping clients optimise the delivery of renewable energy to the market. We also advise on the regulatory frameworks governing energy storage technologies, including battery storage and pumped hydro storage, which are essential for balancing supply and demand.

Many businesses are incorporating renewable energy into their corporate sustainability strategies. We advise clients on integrating renewable energy solutions into their ESG (environmental, social, and governance) frameworks, including advising on renewable energy targets, carbon offsetting, and sustainability reporting. We help clients align their renewable energy investments with their broader ESG goals and improve their sustainability performance.Policy and Regulatory Advisory

The renewable energy sector is subject to a rapidly evolving regulatory and policy environment. Our team provides advisory services on national and international renewable energy policies, including renewable energy targets, subsidies, feed-in tariffs, and carbon pricing mechanisms. We help clients stay ahead of regulatory changes and ensure compliance with energy transition laws and sustainability regulations.

The renewable energy market is highly active in mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures, as companies look to expand their portfolios and collaborate on large-scale projects. We provide legal support on M&A transactions, joint ventures, and partnerships in the renewable energy sector, ensuring that clients can capitalise on new opportunities while managing risks and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
