As the international appetite for renewable generation increases, there is an obvious focus on providing solutions to global challenges. The right solutions provide opportunities for investors and users to enjoy competitive returns.

Clean technology and renewables have related issues that are often expansive and include a variety of renewable energy sources and storage solutions, energy efficiency technologies, clean water, clean land, clean air and an array of additional technologies that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other types of pollution. The common driver is that they involve a smarter way of doing things, use resources more efficiently and provide a return to investors and users. Renewable energy and cleantech projects may also provide opportunities to monetize resulting emission reductions, which can be a critical component of a project’s financing.

In such a smart and forward-thinking environment, you want to work with lawyers who are equally adaptable and innovative. Dentons works in partnership with you to identify potential impacts of new and existing regulations, as well as to develop forward-thinking planning to help you achieve compliance and uncover growth opportunities generated by new regulatory regimes.
