Legal strength for energy, from generation to trade.
In electricity, natural gas and renewable energy projects; from licensing to project finance, from energy trading to regulatory compliance, we provide counsel that guides you through the complex legislation of the energy sector.
Confident steps in a heavily regulated sector
Energy is a capital-intensive, highly regulated sector in which licensing, regulation, and long-term contracts are intertwined. Compliance with the legislation of EPDK (Türkiye's Energy Market Regulatory Authority), the right contract structure, and a predictable financing setup are prerequisites for the sustainability of projects.
From conventional energy to renewable sources and the green transition, we provide legal security at every stage — from project development to operation — for investors, producers, and suppliers.

As a rule, generation facilities above a certain installed capacity require a generation licence from EPDK (the Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority); facilities below a certain threshold may be assessed under the unlicensed generation regime. We determine the correct licensing path according to your project's installed capacity and source, and manage the process.
A PPA should regulate, in a balanced manner, critical provisions such as price and indexation, term, delivery guarantees, force majeure, penalty clauses, and dispute resolution. We structure these long-term agreements so as to manage price and regulatory risks.
In an EPC contract, the employer is protected by provisions such as fixed price and time commitments, performance guarantees, delay penalties, letters of guarantee, and defect liability. We structure these contracts in a balanced manner in the employer's favour, taking into account the technical realities of the project.
The YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Areas) model is aimed at large-scale, publicly sourced projects allocated through competitive tender. Unlicensed generation, on the other hand, is suitable for smaller-scale projects based on self-consumption. Together we assess the model best suited to your investment objective.
