Additional Renewable Energy Group ServicesBusiness, Administrative and Litigation ServicesBacked by Fredrikson & Byron’s full-service capabilities, we can pull in specialized expertise to support projects in areas such as employment, environmental, real estate, regulatory, intellectual property, international commerce, government relations, licensing, transmission interconnection and litigation.
Government RelationsState legislation policies and local government ordinances will affect the future growth of the renewable energy industry and electric transmission. We draw on the extensive experience of our Government Relations Group to strategize, monitor and advocate on behalf of clients requiring government relations counsel and strategy.
TransmissionEnergy generation sources are often located at some distance from load centers, thus requiring transmission facilities to move energy long distances from the point of interconnection to load. Our attorneys have over 30 years of experience in permitting, licensing and certification of high voltage transmission lines and condemnation of land for these infrastructure projects.
Industry Service Providers, Manufacturers and SuppliersWe assist service providers who support the development, construction, and operation of renewable energy projects. We work with public and private companies that manufacture key components of the wind and solar supply chains, including wind turbines and solar panels. We also work with investors and private equity firms that provide capital to industry service companies and suppliers, and assist such firms and companies in the merger and acquisition of industry participants.
Global ReachWe represent European and Asian developers and manufacturers in their expansion into the U.S. marketplace.
Dedicated TeamOur clients receive strong value by working with a dedicated team that is focused on the renewable energy sector. With more than 25 attorneys and paralegals dedicated to support renewable projects, we have the depth and expertise to assist with all sizes and phases of projects.
