Renewable Energy, Distributed Energy Resources, Non-Utility Energy Projects

Results achieved in prior matters are not meant to be a guarantee of success as the facts and legal circumstances vary from matter to matter.

As the renewable energy industry continues to evolve, we serve as legal advisors on all aspects of permitting and development of solar and renewable energy projects in New Jersey. Our team unites energy, environmental and utility attorneys with decades of experience dealing with the Board of Public Utilities on traditional energy matters, clean energy, and distributed energy resources.  

We offer a full range of regulatory, transactional, policy, and litigation services to utilities and private developers participating in this fast-changing market and regulatory schema. We provide representation at local, state, and federal levels for renewable energy ventures harnessing wind, solar, biomass, and landfill gas. We assist in the development of RFPs, drafting and negotiating of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), and negotiation of related contracts and financing documents for developers and customers of solar projects; renewable energy aggregation for public entities; and development and permitting of cogeneration facilities. 

Our experience in utility-scale and behind-the-meter solar projects informs our practical and efficient approach to every major stage of solar project development, including due diligence, site control, financing, energy services agreements, interconnection, procurement, labor, and construction. Our team’s experience enables us to provide our clients with legal solutions that are required at each stage of project development, from conception to completion.  

We provide key insight and advocacy for new technologies entering the competitive energy markets and understand the distinct needs of energy service companies, policymakers, government agencies, and financiers when it comes to the immediate and potential benefits of energy storage and other Distributed Energy Resource technologies.
