As a Connecticut-based law firm, we are well-versed in state and utility project incentive programs, tariffs, RFPs, and auctions. Our deep understanding of these complex regulations, including the ever-evolving Non-Residential Energy Solutions Program, Shared Clean Energy Facilities Program, and the newly emerging front-of-the-meter Battery Energy Storage System program and state-administered BESS RFPs, ensures that we can effectively represent your interests. We regularly navigate these regulations on behalf of solar and battery energy storage companies in proceedings before the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, and the Connecticut Siting Council, as well as local land use, tax and permit matter before various municipal planning and zoning and inland wetlands commissions. In addition, the firm has access to and relationships with a range of large national and international renewable energy investment companies looking to fund project development costs and expenses, including interconnection studies and connection costs, utility auction deposits, siting and permitting costs, and acquire these projects.
Our Project Development Services Program is fully customizable, empowering our project developer clients to tailor our services to meet their needs. As the renewable energy industry grows and Connecticut and New England explore significant increases in renewable energy penetration, we provide thoughtful preparation so that project development can be a net positive for the environment, a boon for local communities, and profitable for our project development clients.
