Renewable Energy Development
Harnessing nature’s power has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more; however, the expansion of renewable energy is massive today. The demand for clean power has created increased opportunities for renewable energy generation and distribution. Stites & Harbison attorneys have developed their skills across a wide mix of traditional energy projects over the years and maintain the necessary experience to guide and assist those involved in the renewable energy fields. Our representation includes energy suppliers, developers, investors, lenders, power purchasers, land owners, and manufacturers.
Our attorneys routinely work with clients in the solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass arenas managing everything from real estate, finance, tax, construction, regulatory and environmental issues for various renewable energy projects across the United States. Our project development experience includes site control, land use and permitting, power sales, tax equity financing, transmission, and construction.
Also, when necessary, we can call on our respected litigators to help resolve energy disputes related to construction agreements, operating agreements, natural resource leases, permitting issues, citizen suits, and more. Our litigation prowess can serve as a significant benefit to clients.
We strive to build practical solutions in all renewable energy representations. Our attorneys work closely with our clients' management and technical staffs to develop strategies that are both legally sound and consistent with our clients' goals and strategic business plans.
