Energy and Renewables

We are delighted to be working with Anderson Strathern, benefiting from their strong experience in the arena of mineral developments, land acquisition and its application to resources of the future. I am impressed with the service they provide us with, their keen understanding of the innovative business in which we operate and with the good working relationship that has developed as a result.
Composite Energy

The renewable and alternative energy sectors in Scotland have a tremendous future. The Scottish Government wants to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050.

This presents huge opportunities for a country blessed with so much potential from wind, wave, tidal, hydro-electric, biomass and even solar power. But for every project there are property, planning, environmental, corporate, financial and tax issues to be addressed. 

We have the expertise to support energy projects of every kind, ensuring the best possible outcome for our clients.

Our land resources department is highly experienced in wind and hydro-electric schemes, acting for landowners and producers. We have been involved in the exploitation of landfill gas to produce electricity and anticipate greater use of combined heat and power plants possibly involving biomass. We are also at the cutting edge of the legal framework for development of biomass and coal bed methane. 

The legal work for energy projects requires a collaborative approach, bringing together experts in many disciplines. As a full-service law firm we can provide a bespoke team to meet the needs of energy project developers and of the landowners on whose property they are sited.
