Ireland has ambitious plans in place to become a
world leader in renewable energy.
According to the Department of Communications, Climate Action &
Environment, under the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, the goal is for 40% of
electricity consumed in Ireland to be from renewable sources by 2020; one of
the most demanding such targets globally; this is known as the Renewable Energy
Target 2020.
At Lavelle Partners, we are determined to play a
significant role in achieving this ambitious goal, by advising and representing
organisations backing and funding renewable energy projects in Ireland. And in doing so, we aim to be one of the
leading renewable and solar energy law firms in Ireland.
Our renewable and solar energy Solicitors can
assist with any of the following project technologies:
- Decarbonisation
- Heat
- Transport
- Bio Energy
- Electricity
- Biomass
Such projects will make an exciting and positive
contribution to the economic prosperity of Ireland while helping to protect our
environment and forge towards a more sustainable future for us all.
