Stoel Rives LLP maintains a nationally recognized renewable energy practice with substantial experience advising on the development, financing, acquisition and disposition of renewable and alternative energy projects across the United States and internationally. With nearly 80 attorneys engaged in energy matters, the firm represents developers, sponsors, investors, lenders and other market participants across solar, wind, energy storage, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, biofuels, distributed generation and emerging technologies.

The team advises across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage structuring and development through construction, financing, operation and the acquisition and disposition of assets, project companies and portfolios. Stoel Rives has particular strength in renewable energy project finance, including debt and tax-driven financing structures, and regularly structures and negotiates transactions involving operating and development-stage assets, joint ventures and M&A arrangements, navigating commercial, tax and regulatory considerations.

The firm advises on power purchase agreements and virtual PPAs as key elements of project execution, bankability and transaction structuring, and supports clients on contractual and commercial aspects of energy deals.
