About

Provided by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton

Kilpatrick Townsend’s Energy Team in North Carolina brings together a balance of real estate, corporate, environmental, litigation, and regulatory experience. Our team has worked on complex ground-breaking matters. For example, we were the leader in representing developers in the new Green Source Advantage Program allowing direct corporate purchase of renewable energy in North Carolina and South Carolina. In another instance, where few merchant solar plants have been constructed in North Carolina, we helped a client navigate the proceedings  which raised new and complex questions regarding the process for interconnecting generators to the grid. We have also represented solar developers in connection with substantial lawsuits relating to EPC work and defects.

Our clients include corporate or institutional energy consumers, developers, vendors, producers, generators, investors, lenders, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers. Kilpatrick Townsend helps clients build value and acquire a competitive edge. We have successfully assisted hundreds of clients build, operate, and profit from projects. We provide impeccable service from the first steps to post-closing of a project’s lifecycle.
