Energy Law
Energy law issues affect not only utility companies, but also real estate owners, industrial companies and municipalities. The entire value chain, from the generation of electricity and heat, the transportation and storage of gas, electricity and heat, and the distribution of energy, to the use of energy by consumers, is subject to laws and regulations that are becoming more comprehensive and more complicated every year.
The contents of these laws and regulations are largely determined by specifications from EU directives. We are thoroughly familiar with all these rules and can assist you in achieving your business goals on the energy market, regardless of your role in that market.
It has long been a truism that the energy revolution will mean that traditional business models must be reviewed and adapted to meet the new requirements of the market. Generation structures are becoming more decentralized, while many customers have begun to see themselves not as consumers of energy, but as "prosumers." These developments make heavy demands - not only on small and mid-sized utility companies, but also on the "prosumers" themselves, who are now subject to legal requirements that they are often unable to meet without expert advice.
With our many years of experience as legal advisors and litigators, we can help you with these requirements. We have the answers to your questions about energy law and will ensure that you are not bothered with other problems so that you can put your ideas into practice.
