Innovative legal advice for co-location projects
Co-location will play a crucial role in the energy transition. The potential for shared infrastructure and increased efficiency can make it an attractive option for developers, and local communities can also benefit from situating multiple projects together. Co-location can also encompass nature-based solutions that complement the increasing biodiversity net-gain proposals emerging alongside solar projects.
Developers must carefully consider the suitability and constraints of the chosen area, including the availability of resources for power generation (such as wind and solar), storage (principally battery storage) and grid connections, in each case with their associated import and export capacities. We help developers to address the viability of projects in the early stages.
The team marries commercial insight with legal expertise, to give rounded and informed advice.
How we can help you
We understand the complexities and opportunities presented by combining generation assets in the same geographic location and can guide you through every stage of your project, including:
- navigating the complexities of planning consent;
- environmental and land use regulatory considerations;
- connection agreements that ensure robust and reliable grid connections, together with helping structure AC or DC-coupled inverter configurations; and
- offtake strategies and structuring power purchase agreements (PPAs) and optimisation agreements (for battery storage) for optimal outcomes.
