Rod also advises clients on business restructuring, equity investment in private companies and has a solid track record in providing independent advice to management team shareholders on exit.
MacRoberts’ specialist Energy Law team has been involved in a diverse range of energy projects in Scotland and across the UK for over 30 years, with a particular focus on renewable energy development and management. The firm has been involved in a number of high-profile projects in Scotland over the past year, including the 80MW 21-turbine Chirmorie Wind Farm Project in South Ayrshire, battery storage projects at Hunterston and Kincardine and land agreements for the 50MW Cumberhead Wind Farm ahead of its sale to Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc.
In addition to his appointment to the AREG Board of Directors, Rod is also Chair of AREG’s Professional Service Network.
Rod Hutchison said:
“I am delighted to be joining the AREG Board of Directors and look forward to playing a part in developing a sustainable renewable energy sector in Scotland.
