再生可能エネルギー

Our Renewable Energy team is a global market leader. We’ve been working on renewables projects for almost 40 years, and today our team works across more than 25 Orrick offices on four continents, representing prominent industry participants in virtually every sector of the industry, including solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, hydro, landfill gas and storage.

Our team members not only understand the legal aspects of renewable energy transactions, but we are intimately familiar with the key commercial issues that drive our clients’ businesses and success. For this reason, the most successful industry participants consistently select us for their most important transactions in renewable energy, including development, finance and M&A: 

Development 

Our lawyers are routinely called on to provide counsel on greenfield project development and transaction structures. In California, the heart of the U.S. renewables market, in the past three years we represented over 30 different bidders before the state utilities’ solicitations for new renewables projects, including on more than 150 bids for new renewables projects, totaling many thousands of megawatts. We also represent leading developers on synthetic/virtual corporate PPAs, military project development, offtake hedges, permitting, real estate entitlements, EPC, O&M, transmission and interconnection, and all other aspects of renewables project development.
