Decarbonisation

Drawing on our 25 years’ experience of working within the sector, we are advising on next generation decarbonisation projects including the development of green hydrogen infrastructure to support decarbonisation of heavy industry and the development of hydrogen powered utility vehicles. This includes advising in relation to one of the earliest investments into a start-up hydrogen developer. We are also advising on innovative projects which aim to facilitate net zero grid connections, and new technologies which will play an active role in grid balancing.

We provide support across the project lifecycle to start-ups, established developers, investors and funders. We advise on the full range of issues from real estate and planning to corporate, innovative funding arrangements and regulatory. We also provide specialist advise in relation to grid arrangements from connection offer documents and service agreements to Network Entry Agreement matters, and related regulatory responsibilities.

Highlights

Clean hydrogen start-up in relation to its investment from an AIM-listed, geosciences company which would provide financial and strategic support to enable it to develop its pilot hydrogen storage project.
Clean energy developer in relation to the development, construction and operation of three synchronous condenser facilities. This was the client's first venture into this technology. The synchronous condenser projects will play an active role in grid balancing by moving reactive power and changing the voltage of the grid to balance distribution across greater distances or to a greater number of consumers.
Gridmode Ltd on the launch of a new grid connections business, Gridmode Ltd, to facilitate net zero connections across the UK. Gridmode will use its unique platform to free up sites that were previously incapable of securing a grid connection. Gridmode expects to have 3GW of ‘uncurtailed connections’ available for onshore wind and solar PV projects and at least another 8 GW of connections that will be added at a later date.
