Renewable Energy Purchase and Sale

For purchasers like businesses and government agencies, renewable energy is a cost-effective way to hedge energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint – almost always realizing immediate financial savings. For sellers like project developers and investors, renewable energy projects have been providing solid, reliable returns for over two decades. The centerpiece for both groups is the purchase and sale agreement. 

The attorneys at Climate Edge have been structuring and negotiating renewable energy purchase and sale agreements for over 20 years.  You can rely on our expertise to negotiate on-site, behind-the-meter power purchase agreements for solar, battery storage, and fuel cell projects.  We can structure agreements involving feed-in tariffs and shared revenues from small- to medium-sized projects. We have negotiated contracts to purchase electricity from community solar projects as well as structured contracts for developers that allowed them to sell electricity under those programs.  

Our lawyers negotiated some of the first virtual power purchase agreements and worked on multiple structures for those agreements including:  variable-priced renewable energy credit purchase, true financial swaps, managed electricity supply and sleeving power purchases through utility and competitive energy suppliers. Of course, we have also represented clients negotiating countless contracts to sell electricity and energy storage services to utilities and other load-serving entities.
