Our team of renewable energy solicitors is well known in the region for its increasingly important role in complex and high value renewable energy projects. The team supports landlords, tenants and developers to overcome the legal and commercial challenges of the transition to net zero.
We take a long-term, strategic view of every project – considering not only the immediate commercial and regulatory implications, but also the impact on retained business operations, succession, tax planning, and market volatility over the life of the project.
In this fast-evolving renewable energy sector, staying ahead of legislative and policy developments is key. Opportunities have increased in line with growth and heightened interest in renewable energy initiatives, but there are associated risks and interests that have to be prioritised and balanced.
BHW’s renewable energy team offer clear, commercially focused advice across a wide range of renewable transactions, including:
- Electric vehicle (EV) charging station leases.
- Rooftop solar panel installations.
- Leases and Option Agreements for solar and battery storage developments.
- Solar farms and energy storage sites.
The renewable energy team are part of BHW’s Legal 500 Tier 1 ranked Commercial Property department. As part of a multi-disciplinary commercial practice, our renewable energy team can draw on some of the very best commercial advice available.
Our recent Renewable Energy work includes:
- Acted for a landowner in granting an option to SunEdison for a proposed 24-acre solar farm in Derbyshire.
- Negotiated an Option Agreement and subsequent lease of 70 acres to SunEdison/Northern Solar for the development of a large-scale solar park.
- Advised landowners on option agreements with Hallmark Powergen Limited for the leasing of farm sites across the East Midlands.
- Advised various tenants on lease agreements for the installation of EV charging stations.
- Represented landlords, tenants, and developers on rooftop solar installation projects.
We understand the practical and legal challenges businesses face in meeting their clean energy and sustainability commitments. Our team combines sector knowledge with commercial insight to help you unlock the full potential of your renewable energy opportunities.
