Renewable energy

At Wollens we are equipped with the expertise to be able to advise on all aspects and both legal sides of renewable energy agreements, including project finance, covering wind and solar power, heat exchanges, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, wave and tidal energy, biomass, and other emerging technologies.

If you are a developer looking for advice in connection with a renewable energy scheme, a landowner approached by a developer or energy provider, or a business considering new technologies, our dedicated team of specialists can help.

We have extensive experience in handling agreements for large solar farms, both commercial and domestic, onshore and offshore wind turbine schemes, and electric vehicle charging points. Our expertise also includes options, easements, substation agreements, and various other projects.

We are also experienced in the funding of green energy businesses, having recently acted on the joint venture to provide £ 75 million funding for commercial rooftop solar. Read more here.
