LAW 774 Clean Energy Project Development and Finance Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] Environmental Law: General Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Energy : Effective lawyering for an energy or infrastructure project requires a variety of skills. This course examines key aspects of several projects that include financing and engineering challenges as well as regulatory hurdles. This is an opportunity to understand some of the highly negotiated provisions of complex and customized deals. General course Description: This case study-oriented course will focus on the critical skills needed to evaluate, develop, finance (on a non-recourse basis), and complete standalone energy and infrastructure projects. The primary course materials will be documents from several representative projects - e.g. wind and carbon capture - covering key areas including market and feasibility studies, environmental permitting and regulatory decisions, financial disclosure from bank and bond transactions, and construction, input, and offtake contracts. Documents from executed transactions are highly customized. By taking a forensic approach, looking at several different deals, we can learn how project developers, financiers, and lawyers work to get deals over the finish line that meet the demands of the market, the requirements of the law, and (sometimes) broader societal goals.
