Power and Energy Finance

As demand for power and energy infrastructure continues, particularly in renewable and clean energy, clients need financing advice that is commercially focused, pragmatic, and responsive to evolving market and regulatory conditions.

Goodmans Power and Energy Finance practice is built around a clear objective: helping clients deliver bankable, resilient financing solutions that support the development, acquisition, and operation of critical energy infrastructure. As such, we provide legal counsel to lenders, developers, sponsors, and investors on matters including:

• Project Financing. We work with clients to structure financing solutions that reflect project timelines, revenue streams, and risk allocation. We advise on a wide range of power and energy financing structures, including construction loans, long‑term project financings, refinancings, and sales tax bridge loans. Our experience spans renewable and conventional energy assets, including wind, solar, hydroelectric, and co‑generation projects.
• Integrated Risk Management and Bankability Support. Drawing on deep experience with Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) arrangements, interconnection agreements, and regulatory approvals, we help clients identify and address the key bankability issues that drive energy financings. Our coordinated approach ensures financing terms are aligned with project documentation and regulatory requirements, reducing execution risk and supporting successful financial close.

We regularly act for leading developers, lenders, and infrastructure investors in the power and energy sector, including SkyPower Limited, Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners, Fiera Private Debt (Infrastructure Group), Interwind, Airtricity, CIM Group, Canadian Renewable Energy, Atlantic Power Corporation, and Countryside Power Income Fund. This experience provides insight into market trends and evolving approaches to energy and infrastructure finance.
