Alternative Energy and CleanTech
As alternative energy development continues to expand, and with the
signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February
2009, innovation in wind energy, solar, biofuels, geothermal, Smart
Grid and other sustainable technologies will present unprecedented
business opportunities. From formation forward, Sherman &
Howard has solid experience addressing the wide range of legal and
business issues relevant to alternative energy businesses. We
represent leading Smart Grid vendors as well as utilities
employing cutting-edge Smart Grid/AMI technologies. We facilitate
the development and implementation of large solar and wind projects
and ensure that our clients are aware of legal and business issues
and opportunities which may affect their business plans. We have
helped clients take advantage of tax incentives provided under the
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 as well as Title III
of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. We have also helped them
draw upon funding resources including Clean Energy Renewable Bonds,
Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds and Innovative Technology Loan
Guarantees available under the 2009 Stimulus Plan and the Energy
Policy Act of 2005. We have represented clients in critical
discussions with public utility commissions, environmental
commissions, licensing authorities and other important state and
federal agencies. And, we have represented clients in connection
with power purchase agreements, project development and financing
for wind, gas, and hydro-electric generation projects. In addition,
we regularly help clients address the full portfolio of
intellectual property matters that come with the formation of any
new business.
