Renewable Energy

MLT Aikins advises clients on renewable energy projects and transactions in Canada. Our mandates include land acquisitions and the development, financing, construction, commercialization and acquisition/divestment of utility-scale wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and hydroelectric projects.

MLT Aikins acts for both independent power producers (IPPs) and utilities, depending on the project or transaction, which uniquely positions us to best serve our renewable energy clients. We have also acted for contractors, suppliers and landowners on numerous energy projects and transactions. Through our leading Indigenous practice, we regularly and increasingly act for First Nation renewable energy developers, owners and stakeholders – by way of equity, royalty or other form of participation.

Wind

We have acted as legal counsel for developers and First Nations as well as utilities, lenders, contractors, landowners and municipalities on a number of wind projects and transactions in Western Canada. For all clients, our team of energy lawyers employ project management tools to manage and complete the work you need done on time and on budget.

Developers: We advise developers on structuring your wind project to meet local requirements in Western Canada and to engage or partner with First Nations. We regularly advise on procurement processes, including advice on power purchase agreements (PPAs). Our lawyers can assist with site acquisition and all real estate and land issues with your wind power project. We assist developers with EPC or other contractor construction contracts and advise on turbine supply agreements with suppliers.

First Nations: We act for First Nations and other Indigenous economic organizations in structuring equity ownership and other forms of participation in utility-scale wind farm projects together with other developers. We also act for First Nations and other Indigenous economic organizations who own and operate independent development organizations, and advise them on developing their wind projects. Our work extends to advising on community-owned or small, community-based wind projects, sometimes in remote locations. We have successfully negotiated agreements with the Crown for development of wind projects and have advised on agreements between nations and municipal entities.

Utilities: We act for utilities in structuring and running procurement processes such as requests for proposals (RFPs) and PPAs. We have been involved in the planning and development of world-class, leading-edge clean energy projects, providing legal, strategic and dispute resolution advice at all stages of the projects. We have been called on to draft and update templates such as PPAs. Our energy lawyers also advise utilities in Western Canada on a broad range of regulatory matters.

Lenders: The transactions lawyers on our energy team often act for domestic lenders financing wind projects. We also undertake due diligence assignments on wind assets for lenders and investors from outside Canada.

Contractors: We have acted for equipment suppliers on turbine supply agreements and for contractors on EPC contracts for wind farm projects.

Landowners: We have also acted groups of landowners in connection with utility-scale energy projects in Western Canada, most often to negotiate option and lease agreements.

Changes to the Competition Act – Greenwashing & Mergers

Bill C-59 received royal assent on June 20, 2024, and contains the most significant changes to the Competition Act that Canada has seen in decades. These changes create significant risk for all business sectors and particular risk for the energy sector. All representations on websites or other public forms relating to environmental benefits of a product, business or activity will need to be reviewed for compliance with the new changes. This will include claims of carbon neutrality or claims of emission reduction or mitigation. Here’s what you need to know.
