In this second edition of the Pulse newsletter, we look back on our successful Charging Ahead event of 7 April, where Lars Rupert and Björn Hofman led interesting discussions on the business case behind battery storage. In this edition of Pulse, we have also included a contribution by our corporate M&A team on things to consider in energy-related M&A deals and a contribution by our notarial team that will make you aware of the different types of rights of superficies that you can encounter when structuring energy projects, Lastly, you will find a contribution from our energy team on the acceleration of permit procedures for renewable energy projects in the Netherlands.

Interested to learn more? You are invited to our event on 15 May at our office in Amsterdam: Navigating the Boom of Transactions in Renewable Energy. In addition to informative sessions on getting your project deal-ready, (debt) financing, equity needs and exit scenarios, Rieneke Jager and Joost Pellens from RWE will share insights on the OranjeWind offshore wind project that RWE Renewables is developing in a joint venture with TotalEnergies, and the various system integration technologies that form part of this project (such as BESS and hydrogen production).
