As the digital transformation of the energy market continues, the distinctions between the energy, transport and technology markets are becoming more blurred, as are those between sub-sectors within the energy market. The areas where this trend is most apparent are:
- smart technology for electric vehicles, in particular electric charging infrastructure
- distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar
- the integration of variable renewable energy resources
- smart demand response, in particular the development of smart grids and smart homes
- battery storage
In all these areas we are at the forefront of developing legal solutions for clients investing in emerging new asset classes and technologies.
