Schjødt's Renewable Energy and Clean-Tech group has a leading position. Our lawyers are chosen by some of the largest and leading players in this sector, in Norway as well as internationally, and we regularly represent some of the most prominent and promising renewable energy and clean-tech companies.

Having a nearly unrivaled position within oil & gas, it was a natural step for us some years ago to venture into the renewable sector.

Over the recent years, we have acted for companies involved in development and realization of some of Norway's largest wind farms, hydroelectric power plants and off-shore wind farms. We are serving major players in the solar industry, emerging energies such as tidal energy and bio energy, as well as public and private investors in the traditional hydro power plant industry in Norway.

Our team provides a full range of services clients, involving inter alia technology development and intellectual property rights, fundraising, regulatory and concessions, power trading, M&A and capital markets transactions, landowner rights, public support schemes and EC regulation affecting incentives to the industry.
