Renewable Energy Law

Renewable energy law encompasses the public law regulations governing the development and use of renewable energies, such as energy law, licensing law, environmental law, and spatial planning law. The civil law aspects include contract and property law as well as liability regulations for private relationships and contracts in connection with renewable energy projects, with due regard being paid to company purchase and project purchase agreements, but also plant purchase agreements, installation agreements and financing agreements. The aim is to legally frame and secure the sustainable development and use of renewable energies.

From idea to authorization, from plant purchase agreement to operational project, from project sale to repowering

We advise planners, project developers and constructors on all legal aspects of the planning and realisation of their renewable energy projects, from the very first idea to the successful commercial marketing of turnkey projects. We ensure that all essential questions are addressed at an early stage, thereby providing our clients with a clear orientation and direction for project development. We also assist our clients in the negotiation of financing agreements and the performance of due diligence reviews, and as far as may be necessary, in the conduct of administrative court proceedings for the purpose of obtaining federal immission control authorisations.
