Law that protects commercial objectives in the energy sector.
Legal support for energy investments across licensing, project development, financing, land, EPC, regulation and dispute processes. We plan pre-license and license procedures before the energy regulator EPDK, support mechanisms, power purchase agreements (PPA) and grid connection steps from investment decision to operation.
The applicable legal framework in the energy sector
Energy projects advance at the intersection of licensing, land, grid connection, financing, construction, operation, and public authority processes. A project's legal foundation must be set up correctly before the investment decision.
