MacRoberts has been actively involved in energy projects for a significant number of years, having advised in relation to the privatisation of the Scottish Electricity Industry, and since then, our Energy Group has developed and expanded - with a particular focus on the electricity sector and, within that, on Renewables.
MacRoberts Energy Group is a multi-disciplinary group, advising on all aspects of renewables projects including:
- Procurement
- Regulatory Matters
- Property Rights and Options (Scottish and English)
- Planning and Consents
- Environmental Issues
- Finance
- Tax
- Power Purchase Agreements
- Grid Connection
- Contract Negotiation, including EPC and supply and maintenance contracts
- Acquisitions and Disposals
- Corporate Restructuring
- Dispute Resolution
We act on wind farm and other renewable energy projects across the UK, from conception to funding and operations through to disposal, advising and representing landowners, operators, funders, community organisations, developers and contractors.
Our specialist advice continues after projects are operational. We advise on ongoing contractual issues and on acquisitions and disposals of wind farms, portfolios and related finance matters. Our advice is, at all stages, clear and practical, based on a sound understanding of the commercial and regulatory issues that drive renewables projects, and is geared at all times to providing solutions.
MacRoberts are members of Scottish Renewables - a forum of key players with interests including biomass, hydro, micro, marine and wind technologies, whose members share a common interest in the development of renewables in Scotland.
