Renewable Energy Finance

Our team of experienced attorneys provides comprehensive legal counsel to clients involved in financing renewable energy projects. We offer expertise in a wide range of transactional and regulatory matters, helping our clients navigate the complex landscape of renewable energy finance. 

We represent clients, including lenders and quasi-governmental agencies, in connection with the financing of solar, wind, fuel cell, and other renewable energy projects, and have extensive expertise in both traditional and back leverage structures. We advise clients with respect to financing residential energy credits and working with tax equity providers, including negotiation of interparty agreements.  We review and negotiate complex project documents on behalf of our clients, including power purchase agreements and O&M agreements, and review regulatory approvals. 

In addition, we also have clean energy and energy efficiency lawyers available to assist our clients with clean energy projects, including solar, fuel cell, combined heat and power, geothermal and waste to energy.  In addition to working out the complexities of financing, we assist clients with permitting and securing government and market incentives and implementing energy and cost-saving strategies.  Members of our team are leaders in energy conservation and efficiency projects, green building, LEED and other high performance building standards and sustainability codes.  We regularly advise clients on green building new construction and renovation and the interplay between energy and environmental issues on such projects. We represent clients before state regulatory authorities and advise them on local, state and federal renewable energy and energy efficiency incentive and financing programs, including innovative programs such as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs in Connecticut and other states, including New York and California.
