Energy - Renewable Energy
The McGrigors Renewable Energy team has been actively involved in the renewable/alternative energy industry for many years. Our finance, energy, environment, property, planning and construction lawyers have extensive experience of advising developers, stakeholders and funders on onshore wind, offshore wind, wave, tidal, landfill gas, biomass, biofuel, hydro, waste-to-energy and carbon capture and storage projects. We have been involved in transactions involving renewable energy in both the UK and a number of jurisdictions across Europe.
In particular, to date we have advised participants in varying roles on wind farm projects with a combined capacity totalling over 4,000MW – over 20% of the proposed capacity for new wind farms according to BWEA statistics – a clear indication of our significant involvement in the industry to date.
