Renewable Energy
Benefit from our more than 20 years of experience in the German energy transition
The transition of our energy industry is a task that spans generations. Renewable energies and in particular Solar Photovoltaics, Offshore and Onshore Wind Energy are the driving forces which will determine the success or failure of the energy industry in the long term when it comes to achieving the net zero targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. In combination with other technologies and storage options such as batteries or hydrogen, they are rapidly becoming the backbone of our economy and society.
This transition poses many challenges, from issues relating to the volatility and profitability of individual projects to the legal framework and competitive environment of the entire ecosystem. The intelligent and efficient integration of energy from sun, wind and water into ongoing processes and portfolios can be decisive for the commercial success of your company.
With over two decades of experience in the renewable energy market in Germany, we are happy to assist you with your very own energy transition process in all commercial, legal and tax related questions and challenges.

Renewable energies: Navigating through the market and tackling challenges in energy transition
In order to promote a future with renewable energies, a holistic approach across all sectors is necessary. In Germany, in particular fossil fuels still account for the largest share of heat supply and transportation. But here too, as with electricity production, the path is clear for the necessary transition. Not only in Germany, but worldwide, investments in renewable energies are reaching record levels.
How can the cost factor "switch to renewable energies" be turned into sustainable and positive long-term profitability? What regulatory requirements and hurdles need to be overcome in the energy transition? What risks will companies face in the energy transition and how can they successfully enter the renewable energy market?
A multitude of questions that our experts can answer. Our solutions include advice on transactions, strategy and financing, as well as the valuation and benchmarking of renewable energy assets and everything related to legal and tax issues.
