Renewable Energy

Bradley Murchison attorneys offer a full range of services supporting renewable energy projects and activities. These include the negotiating, drafting, and review of leases, right of way agreements, and construction contracts, as well as legal counsel throughout site due diligence evaluation and acquisition (title, financial, environmental, etc.), project financial resource development, environmental permitting and the project construction process. We ensure that all phases of the project comply with the local, state, and federal regulatory framework. Additionally, our lawyers have experience in matters falling under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relating to electricity generated by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

Our approach and guidance is influenced through our continued monitoring of the ever-evolving legal landscape in the renewable energy arena. This knowledge allows us to provide counsel to our clients for current regulations with an eye towards the horizon for new and developing legislation, regulations, and investment trends. Our lawyers possess the knowledge necessary to guide projects through the acquisition, financing, zoning, permitting, construction, and commissioning of solar electrical energy generation and large-scale landfill biomethane projects at the local, state, and federal regulatory level. Our lawyers’ understanding of the legal issues surrounding the renewalable energy industry allows for a nuanced, practical, and pragmatic approach to our clients’ projects.

Our lawyers have assisted a West Coast University System in the construction and commissioning of a landfill biomethane facility in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Our lawyers also have experience in FERC electric matters involving the certification of Qualifying Facility (QF) status for small power producers/cogeneration facilities pursuant to FERC Form 556 filings.
