The Firm has recognised expertise in this sector, underpinned by a sound understanding of the complex regulatory framework and the key issues arising from its application. It assists leading national and international companies on both advisory and contentious matters (including matters relating to competition and unfair commercial practices) before administrative authorities, courts and arbitral tribunals, as well as in corporate transactions.
In particular, the Firm provides assistance on regulatory, authorisation and contractual matters relating to photovoltaic power generation, the exploration, production and sale of oil and gas, as well as the generation and sale of electricity for domestic and industrial use. This assistance extends to the construction and operation of electricity generation plants, both conventional and renewable.
The assistance also includes the drafting of supply and import contracts and of contracts for the sale of transmission capacity, and representation before the competent authorities for these sectors (Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy – MIMIT, ARERA, GSE – Energy Services Operator, GME – Energy Markets Operator).
