Solar & Wind Energy
Our firm counsels solar, wind, and biomass businesses on a variety of formation, investment, project development, and acquisition issues. Our clients include, but are not limited to, developers of hundreds of megawatts of solar and wind generation (both domestic and abroad), as well as off-takers of off-grid power solutions. We have in-depth energy transactional experience, having negotiated scores of interconnection agreements; power purchase agreements (worth nearly 1 GW); tax abatement and school tax limitation agreements; engineering, procurement and construction agreements (EPCs); operation and maintenance agreements (O&Ms); site control agreements (leasehold and acquisitions).
Our team also understands the complex tax and regulatory environments that constrain energy development. We have crafted tax equity contribution and participation agreements, sponsor equity contribution agreements, and a variety of debt instruments for project development. Our attorneys and consultants work with your accounting team to structure tax motivated transactions (e.g. partnership flips, sale leasebacks, and inverted leases) to capture tax attributes.
Before we explore your options, our attorneys and consultants take the time to learn about your business vision, goals, personal experience, and potential hurdles. Contact us to learn more about our services or to schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys or consultants.
