Energy & Infrastructure

Overview

Fueling Innovation, Building A Renewable Future

At DarrowEverett, our Energy & Infrastructure practice is well-equipped to meet the complex demands of today’s energy and infrastructure projects. We collaborate across multiple disciplines (corporate, private equity, financing, tax, real estate and environmental) to deliver innovative, practical solutions that help clients navigate every phase of their projects, from conception to completion. Whether you are a developer, lender or investor, our team is ready to serve you on your next high-profile project or transaction.

We assist businesses with projects involving a variety of technologies. Our clients use cutting-edge technologies including solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal, along with biofuels and liquified natural gas. We are well versed in how stakeholders can leverage existing tax credits to boost the economics of projects, and how investors can utilize tax credits to minimize tax obligations.

Our Energy & Infrastructure Services

We understand that developing, financing, and operating energy and infrastructure projects requires a nuanced approach to address technical, regulatory, and commercial challenges. Our attorneys provide strategic counsel for:

  • Project Development: We advise on site acquisition, land use and zoning approvals, permitting, and environmental compliance.
  • Regulatory Compliance: We navigate federal, state, and local energy regulations, including FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), state utility commissions, state and federal securities laws, and environmental statutes.
  • Financing: We structure and close project financing, including public-private partnerships (P3s), tax equity, debt financing, securitization strategies, and a variety of federal, state and local grants and incentives.
  • Transactional Support: We draft and negotiate power purchase agreements (PPAs), interconnection agreements, EPC agreements and other construction contracts, and other critical documents.
  • Litigation & Dispute Resolution: We handle disputes related to construction, regulatory enforcement, and operational issues.

Cross-Practice Collaboration for Seamless Solutions

Energy and infrastructure projects demand a multidisciplinary approach. At DarrowEverett, we leverage the skills of attorneys across practice areas to ensure seamless support. This includes:

  • Real Estate: We handle land acquisition, easements, and title issues.
  • Corporate & Finance: We structure joint ventures, manage complex financing, and negotiate partnerships.
  • Environmental Law: We ensure compliance with federal and state environmental regulations and address site remediation. 
  • Tax: We advise on tax-efficient structures, including tax credits and public and private incentives.
  • Litigation: We resolve disputes efficiently to keep projects on track and preserve value.
