Pierce Atwood’s energy lawyers understand the multi-disciplinary nature of energy project development, and have the requisite expertise to assist clients with the commercial, regulatory, tax, real estate, land use, economic, environmental, and financial issues underpinning the successful development of energy projects. We structure and negotiate the full array of agreements essential to a successful project, and help our clients design strategies to maximize the value of tax benefits and all available state and federal renewable or solar energy tax credits.

We have worked with a number of educational institutions on issues related to development of solar PV installations on school property, including negotiating power purchase agreements, long-term leases, and property tax issues. We also advise on general energy and policy matters.

Representative Experience

We negotiated the contract between our client Brown University and Ecosystem, the contractor, for a Thermal Efficiency Project that Brown is undertaking. The plan involves converting the university’s existing high-temperature hot water system to modern, highly efficient, lower-temperature hot water.
