Renewable energy is set to make a significant contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, more efficient use of resources and security of supply. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel power stations by as much as 90%, combating climate change and ensuring the security of our energy supplies.

Our renewables practice is led from our energy team and draws on expertise from around the firm, including environment, projects, corporate and banking. Over the years, we have advised on renewable, combined heat and power (CHP), waste to energy and independent power projects. CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz specialists have a long track record in renewables projects across CEE and in advising on all aspects of emissions trading and emissions swaps.

We work with 

• generators, systems operators,
• suppliers,
• distributors,
• financial institutions,
• investment funds,
• traders and investment banks

throughout the CEE region. Our in-depth knowledge of the clean energy sector helps ensure that our advice is realistic, practical, commercial and, above all, based upon experience of having addressed many of the issues before. Even where the issues are novel, the solutions will draw on the practice and precedents developed in many cases by our specialist team over many years in this sector.

We have been involved in the developing and financing wind farms projects and the detailed technical work on market and industry design to facilitate the development of wind projects around the CEE region.
