As a cornerstone of the energy transition, energy storage bridges the gap between decentralised, fluctuating generation and consumption. It enables the efficient integration of renewables, strengthens grid stability, and unlocks new business opportunities for developers, producers, and investors alike.
The successful implementation of battery storage projects involves complex technical, legal, and regulatory challenges. Taylor Wessing has extensive experience advising on a broad spectrum of large-scale battery storage projects. We understand the industry-specific requirements and regulatory landscape, combining legal excellence with in-depth economic and technical insight.
Our interdisciplinary team incorporates expertise in energy, environmental and planning law, plant construction, corporate law and financing. We advise project developers, manufacturers and contractors, operators, investors and financiers on all legal aspects of battery storage projects.
We support projects throughout their entire life cycle – from securing real estate to the planning and project development phase, including financing, to the drafting, negotiation and conclusion of the relevant project contracts. We also provide comprehensive legal advice on the acquisition or sale of battery storage projects. We closely support our clients during the planning, construction and operational phases, for example in the context of contract and claims management or on the various marketing options. If necessary, we represent our clients in disputes, both before state courts and in national and international arbitration proceedings.
We also provide comprehensive advice on other storage technologies, such as hydrogen storage and heat storage.
