ENERGY

Our team has particular expertise in large-scale renewable energy projects, having acted for a number of generators in seeking resource consent for the generation and/or transmission aspects of wind farms, geothermal and thermal power plants, and hydro-electric schemes. We act for Refining NZ (New Zealand’s only oil refinery) on its environmental matters and have broad oil/natural gas experience. We have also assisted clients to obtain requiring authority status, and obtain notices of requirement. Some of our most notable energy projects are listed below:
