Renewables, Alternative Energy, and Storage

Renewable energy investments depend on more than the technology. We advise developers, energy users, utilities, and public entities on project development, procurement, interconnection, incentives, and storage.

Our focus

Renewable energy projects depend on the alignment of regulatory approvals, real estate rights, interconnection requirements, and commercial agreements. We help clients connect those components early so the project or purchasing strategy can deliver its intended financial and operational value.

Our work includes solar, wind, battery storage, and combined heat and power. We advise on project development and renewable energy procurement, including physical and virtual power purchase agreements and Renewable Energy Credits.

As technologies, markets, and incentive programs change, we help clients evaluate new opportunities and understand the commitments behind them. Our attorneys bring together energy, environmental, real estate, corporate, tax, and construction experience around the client’s project or sustainability objective.
