Renewable energies

Renewable energies are an indispensable element of a decentralized and sustainable energy supply. The amended German Renewable Energy Sources Act came into effect on January, 1st, 2009 and provides important incentives for the generation of electricity from renewable energies.

We have specialized in the consulting of project developers and plant operators in the industrial, municipal and agricultural sector, focusing on legal aspects of biogas, biomass and fotovoltaic plants:

• Compliance with the Renewable Energy Sources Act
• Legal aspects of feed-in tariffs
• Market incentive programme and other government aids for renewable energy projects
• Legal expertises on input materials for biomass plants
• Authorization procedures (German federal building code, German federal immission control act)
• Grid connection and cost distribution
• Drafting and review of contracts (grid connection contracts, feed-in agreements, purchase, service and maintenance agreements, biomass delivery contracts, lant operation agreements, company agreements, etc.)

We advise legally and strategically, assume negotiations with your business partners, grid operators and authorities and enforce your interests in court.
