About

Provided by Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP

Greenbaum's energy & renewable resources practice offers legal services for energy generation and delivery projects across New Jersey. While our attorneys possess decades of experience in regulated utility services, the group's primary focus is supporting the growing demand for distributed energy resources, renewables, traditional and alternative energy production, competitive energy procurement, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.

Our team has extensive expertise in both the traditional (fossil fuel) energy and renewable energy sectors, providing solutions for clients navigating New Jersey’s evolving energy landscape and the impacts of new technologies, changing regulations, and market demands. We integrate our deep knowledge of energy law with substantial experience in commercial real estate, business transactions, land use and redevelopment permitting, environmental compliance, brownfields development, project financing, tax incentives, eligibility for renewable energy certificates (RECs) and net-metering, carbon reduction credit, brokerage agreements, and related litigation.

A multidisciplinary approach enables our team to address the legal aspects of both behind-the-meter and utility-scale grid supply projects, from property acquisition and environmental permitting to regulatory compliance and operational matters.
