Transporting and distributing energy
We have an in depth understanding of the rapidly evolving energy markets and their governing regulatory regimes. The shift towards decarbonisation means that the way in which we transport and distribute energy has become even more regulated.
We advise on all aspects of the energy supply chain, including advising energy infrastructure owners and operators, investors in energy infrastructure and those seeking access to energy infrastructure. This includes in the areas of electricity transmission and distribution, natural gas pipelines and distribution networks and the trucking and shipping of LNG, hydrogen, coal, iron ore, copper, fertilisers and other commodities.
Unlocking asset value
Our expert advisors have offered the strategic counsel needed to help numerous asset owners realise additional value from their energy infrastructure through a variety of strategies including uniquely structured divestments and tolling arrangements.
The increasing appetite from infrastructure investors to engage with energy infrastructure presents an exciting opportunity to access significant capital value from within an existing asset, but requires a considered and strategic approach. Having advised on a range of similar transactions, Ashurst's team are well-placed to assist you in navigating the complexities of such a deal.
The interface of technology with energy distribution
The use of technology plays a pivotal role in the systems used to transport and transact in commodities globally. One of the challenges our clients face is adapting their business model to new technological innovations, for example, cybersecurity, microgrids and virtual power plants and grid software management. Our leading experts support clients on their most demanding projects to find a solution to their complex challenges.
