Developers
Your projects aim at large-scale shifts towards renewable energy and sustainability. You will require offtake contacts, construction contracts, land rights and financing. Knowledge and experience in virtually all aspects of project development make Climate Edge an important partner in the successful completion of your project.
What We Provide:
Climate Edge will work with you to develop and negotiate your offtake contracts, equipment procurement contracts, operating agreements, land-rights agreements and other contracts essential for project development. The resulting agreements will support project finance structures as well as general debt and equity offerings.
You can expect:
Sustainability: Your project will have a lifespan of over 20 years. Your contracts need to support that project life. We know the long-term risks you need to mitigate over the full life of a project - both the early and late stage risks.
Creativity: The easy projects were done a long time ago. Today’s projects face new regulatory and competitive pressures and require creative solutions. At Climate Edge, we know where we can push the regulatory limits, how to structure around certain restrictions and how to develop and contract for creative solutions to today’s challenges.
Experience: Years of contract negotiation and creation in the renewable energy space make Climate Edge lawyers uniquely suited to negotiate contracts and agreements tailored specifically to your project needs and financial and risk profiles.
Partnership: Your development team needs more than just a tool or two. Your team needs a partner. Climate Edge attorneys place their relationship with clients at the center of their representation. We integrate with your team as a partner, available to help develop, structure and negotiate solutions. We are with you at each step in the process and stay vested in your success.
