Energy Transactional
The energy industry faces new and substantial
challenges. Global demand for energy continues to grow.
Climate change is a global issue underpinned by international and
European law, and climate change issues affect energy resource and
fuel source decisions on a daily basis.
Access to output from diversified energy
resources such as renewables and nuclear and gas-fired power
plants, and reliance on diversified types of fuels such as natural
gas, clean coal, geothermal and biomass, will be important factors
for success under the current and future regulatory regimes.
Interconnecting and transmitting renewable power, typically in
remote locations, to load and urban centers requires substantial
investments in new and upgraded transmission systems. Tighter
financial markets affecting necessary infrastructure investments
require creative solutions and deal structures.
These conditions and changes present both
opportunities and challenges, and through continued work with major
utilities, public bodies, electric cooperatives, independent
transmission and power companies, banks, funds and venture
capitalists, SNR Denton assists clients across the industry to
capitalize on the opportunities and address the challenges.
