Energy & Infrastructure
Government decisions to increase the use of renewable energy for electricity generation, alongside regulatory actions to encourage competition in the electricity market, are leading to frequent regulatory changes and creating opportunities to establish various projects.
Given the complexity of this field, regulatory understanding and dedicated expertise in commercial and land-related aspects are required. Since a significant portion of projects are established on land held by agricultural communities, additional expertise in cooperative societies law is also necessary — a central pillar when entering into agreements between a developer and a kibbutz or moshav. Our firm provides a comprehensive response to the full range of issues in advancing projects and engagements in the renewable energy sector efficiently and swiftly.
The Path to Effective Implementation of Energy and Infrastructure Projects
Our firm specializes in multidisciplinary accompaniment from the initiation stage through the execution stage in the field of energy and infrastructure:
Legal accompaniment — We provide accompaniment at all stages of contracting and execution, including drafting engagement agreements, purchase agreements, EPC agreements, O&M agreements, power purchase agreements (PPA), establishment of partnerships and project companies, as well as accompaniment before planning authorities.
Regulatory accompaniment — Familiarity with all major players in the energy and infrastructure field, including the Electricity Authority, the Israel Land Authority, and the Ministry of Agriculture. Our firm has longstanding dealings with regulatory bodies, including the Israel Land Authority and planning committees, which helps us act to remove barriers and increase the feasibility of the project.
Energy expertise — Deep familiarity with the various aspects of the energy and electricity field at the regulatory level (electricity sector regulation and the Planning and Building Law), alongside commercial and business expertise in the field.
Cooperative societies expertise — Knowledge of the unique characteristics of cooperative societies and their procedures enables us to accompany both societies and developers, and to protect the interests of each of the parties.
