Fredrikson & Byron’s team of legal professionals have substantial experience in managing the development and financing of renewable energy projects. With 20 attorneys and paralegals dedicated to support renewable projects, we have the expertise and experience to assist with all phases of project development, including financing and acquisition and divestiture needs.
Fredrikson’s Renewable Energy Group has been serving clients, from around the world, in the renewable energy sectors for over two decades. We have assisted clients in the development of some of the Midwest’s largest wind energy projects, community wind projects and solar energy projects.
Our experienced team of attorneys practice in the wind, solar and biomass energy, and transmission electric power sectors. We represent domestic and international utilities, renewable energy developers, municipalities, transmission companies, as well as financial institutions, banks and private equity companies that invest in renewable energy assets. Our work also extends to the supply chain, as we represent manufacturers, service and construction companies that operate within these energy sectors.
We provide a comprehensive range of services, including project development management, real estate, permitting and regulatory, commercial transactions, financing, mergers and acquisitions, government relations, intellectual property, construction and litigation.
Our team routinely handles project development matters, including real estate, permitting, commercial, supply and construction contracts, power purchase agreements, and debt and equity financing. We assist clients in the acquisition and divestiture of energy assets, service companies and manufacturing operations.
Our attorneys understand the variety of government tax incentive programs available to support renewable projects. We have structured and closed renewable energy transactions involving the production tax credit and investment tax credit, the 1603 grant, grant and guaranteed loan projects from various federal agencies including the USDA, and state incentives for renewable energy and clean technology.
