Renewable Energy

Renewable energy.  Reducing our carbon footprint. Decreasing our reliance on foreign oil. Solar panels. Wind farms. Tax credits. Energy credits. Federal and state grants. These concepts, while common now, were unheard of just a few years ago. With the recent focus on green building and renewable resources, however, these everyday terms have grown increasingly and exponentially complex when landowners, developers, and businesses decide to put them into practice.

If you are ready to embark on a renewable energy project, chances are you are finding it progressively difficult to navigate the often-uncharted waters of complex laws, regulations, incentives, financing, and the myriad of critical issues of vital importance to any renewable energy project.

That’s where we come in. Prince Lobel Renewables is a cutting-edge, first-of-its-kind project management initiative created directly and specifically to assist clients in all aspects of the assessment, development and financing of renewable energy projects. Unlike other law firms that offer only legal services in support of these projects, Prince Lobel Renewables provides hands-on, turnkey services for any renewable energy project - from siting and permitting to financing and construction.

The Prince Lobel Renewables team has both project management and energy industry experience, and is deeply knowledgeable in all areas of development, construction, and financing of renewable energy facilities. In addition, we manage internal and external experts in the fields of commercial contracting, real estate, tax, energy regulatory, government relations, and environmental issues.  Our team understands that while there is a broad range of issues to address in each phase of a project, we can offer firsthand experience to address those issues, and provide effective, creative solutions that most likely lead to project success.

Of particular importance in any renewable energy project is understanding and maximizing the federal and state incentives that may be available.  With the legislative and regulatory climate in a state of near constant change, our experience is a vital asset to clients who are facing the difficult challenges posed by the shifting legal and regulatory landscape.

Prince Lobel Renewables helps clients meet the challenges that arise at every phase of project development including:

• Turnkey project development
• Strategic planning
• Real estate acquisition and land use
• Site approvals, permits, and licenses
• Power purchase agreement negotiations
• Engineering, procurement, and construction contract management and negotiations
• Tax credits
• Public and private financing and transactional due diligence
• Insurance
• Interconnection and transmission access
• Renewable portfolio standards

Whether you are looking to fully outsource your renewable energy project, or need legal counsel on one or more phases of your development, please consider making Prince Lobel Renewables part of your project team.

Our goal is to not only help you successfully complete your renewable energy project, but to build a long-term relationship. As the laws and regulations change, as your completed project matures, and as your needs grow and change, Prince Lobel Renewables will be there to offer guidance and expertise.
