MacRoberts has been actively involved in energy projects since the late 1980s, when we advised Scottish Nuclear on the privatisation of the Scottish electricity industry. Since then, as the UK energy market has adapted to new technologies, the Energy Group has developed its skills and expertise to reflect the importance of electricity generation from renewable sources.
We act on renewable energy projects (including wind, hydro and energy from waste) across the UK, addressing all the relevant legal issues from the conception of a project through to its ongoing operation. This includes land, planning, environment, construction and procurement, financing, health and safety and community benefit issues.
We also advise on regulatory matters, power purchase agreements, grid contracts and other commercial contracts. We have advised on the acquisition, disposal and restructuring of existing projects at various stages of development, and have significant experience of resolving complex disputes.
Our energy clients include developers, operators, funders and contractors.
