Renewable Energy Practice

Musick Peeler’s Renewable Energy Practice delivers comprehensive legal services to developers, asset owners, investors, utilities, EPC contractors, and corporate energy users engaged in renewable and energy-transition projects. Our team combines deep experience in transactional advisory, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution to support projects at every stage—from development and construction to operation and monetization. 

We advise clients across the renewable energy sector, including utility-scale solar, onshore and offshore wind, renewable energy credits (RECs), and carbon capture projects, with experience spanning domestic and cross-border matters. 

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration 

Our Renewable Energy Practice has significant experience representing parties in complex disputes arising from renewable energy projects and commercial energy transactions. We regularly handle domestic and international arbitrations involving construction, performance, valuation, and regulatory issues unique to large-scale renewable projects. 

We represent developers, owners, contractors, suppliers, utilities, and investors in disputes involving: 

• Utility-scale solar, wind, and offshore wind projects
• EPC and construction claims, including delay, disruption, and performance disputes
• Contract interpretation and termination issues
• Valuation and damages disputes
• Energy-market and regulatory-driven claims 

Members of our team also serve as arbitrators in energy-sector disputes, bringing practical insight into the technical, regulatory, and commercial realities of renewable energy projects. 

Transactions & Regulatory Support

Our attorneys provide strategic guidance on the structuring, negotiation, and execution of transactions that underpin renewable energy development and investment. We advise on power purchase agreements (PPAs), master supply agreements (MSAs), joint ventures, and asset acquisitions, ensuring alignment with project finance and long-term commercial objectives.

We also counsel clients on regulatory compliance and market participation issues impacting renewable generation and energy attributes. This includes advising on renewable energy credits (RECs), carbon markets, and evolving regulatory frameworks that affect project economics and contractual obligations. Our team helps clients navigate risk, maintain compliance, and capitalize on incentives in a rapidly changing energy landscape.
