Energy

The energy sector faces unprecedented change driven by decarbonization, electrification, regulatory evolution, and intensifying capital demands. Companies across the electricity, renewable energy, and infrastructure sectors need legal advisors who understand the commercial realities and the regulatory landscape shaping today’s market.

Goodmans supports energy sector clients on a variety of matters, from litigation and dispute resolution to project development, financing and regulatory compliance:

• Energy disputes and litigation. We represent clients, including utilities, distributors, system operators, developers and other market participants in high-stakes energy litigation, arbitration, and regulatory disputes, including matters involving power purchase agreements, utility regulation, procurement programs and market compliance.
• Energy project development and infrastructure. Our lawyers advise clients on the development and commercialization of electricity and renewable energy projects, including procurement processes, construction agreements, and power purchase arrangements, with a focus on risk management and execution.
• Regulatory and Ontario energy market compliance. In addition to representing clients in regulatory proceedings (including before the Ontario Energy Board (OEB)), we also help clients manage regulatory risk, understand market rules, and respond to evolving policy changes.
• Transactions and project financing. We support energy transactions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and project financing, as well as public and private capital raises to fuel growth and innovation.
• Renewable energy and energy transition strategy. Working with leading renewable power companies, investors, and clean technology innovators, we help them navigate the transition to low-carbon energy, including regulatory incentives, ESG considerations, and emerging technologies.

This integrated approach, including our deep experience in public sector litigation and regulatory advocacy, positions Goodmans to help clients manage risk, protect critical interests, and succeed in an increasingly complex market.
