Energy Transactions

As a result of recent changes, Private Energy Generators are now allowed to develop up to 100 megawatts of power without requiring a licence from the Regulator. Government has also indicated that it will be introducing new initiatives with the aim of accelerating the procurement of new generation capacity from renewables, gas, and battery storage to combat the current shortfall of energy. This will completely remove the licensing threshold for embedded generation and enable businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar power in a financially viable way. There are many parties to an energy infrastructure or procurement transaction. Whether you are a potential bidder to a public Request for Proposals (or ‘RFP’), an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (or ‘EPC’) contractor, a lender, or a property developer or owner in the private sector - if your plan is to buy or generate energy through solar, wind or gas, you will need legal advisers to help you successfully navigate the complex legal requirements involved in energy infrastructure and procurement transactions, and their financing.
