Energy

The energy sector (particularly the electricity sector) has become one of the most complex areas of regulation, both in terms of the intensity of oversight and the intricacy of the applicable legal framework.

This complexity is directly proportional to the sector’s economic significance, especially in the current context of heightened concerns about decarbonization and the pursuit of strategic autonomy in energy generation.

At rēgula, we have in-depth knowledge of this regulatory framework. We advise on the full range of issues affecting the development of activities in the energy and electricity sectors, including sanctioning powers, private contracting within the sector, and public-private partnerships for the implementation of projects.

We have extensive experience in conducting legal due diligence on energy projects and assets, both in greenfield and brownfield phases, in the context of acquisitions and divestitures of assets and companies. We are familiar with the main challenges that may affect such projects, and we know how to identify them, assess the associated risks, and address them effectively in the relevant contractual documentation.

We have also been pioneers in advising on certain innovative developments in the energy field, including stand-alone storage projects, infrastructure for the deployment of data centers and other energy-intensive facilities, district heating and cooling networks, and large-scale energy efficiency projects.
