Renewable and Alternative Energy

There is a growing awareness that the future of the American economy depends on developing reliable and affordable renewable and alternative energy resources. Supply and transportation interruptions, energy commodity price spikes and concern about climate change and global warming increasingly require company executives to focus on developing alternative and renewable energy resources. Recognizing this imperative, Congress and various states have created tax and other incentives that make renewable energy projects more affordable and ambitious. Renewable portfolio standards have been adopted in well over half the states and the District of Columbia.

Schiff Hardin has the expertise and hands-on experience necessary to assist clients in successfully planning, financing, siting, negotiating, constructing, operating and maintaining one or multiple renewable energy projects. We solve problems by employing proven strategies and deploying interdisciplinary teams of lawyers from our energy, environmental, construction, project finance, real estate, intellectual property, tax and litigation groups who have the energy-specific experience to assist clients with the toughest challenges.
