Energy and Infrastructure
Practice areaOur society relies heavily on an efficient and innovative energy and infrastructure sector. It applies both in terms of realising the green transition and handle climate changes, in terms of ensuring a stable and secure energy supply, and in terms of supporting a positive and efficient socioeconomic development.
However, as a player in the energy and infrastructure sector you may be facing a wide range of complex challenges when projects are to be developed, built, operated or traded. Challenges which may be due to pressure on global supply lines, accelerating technological developments, fluctuating interest rate levels, fading support in local environments and, last but not least, a comprehensive and volatile regulatory landscape.
The multifarious challenges in the energy and infrastructure sector make heavy demands on the ability to manage complex risks and find efficient and innovative solutions if projects and transactions are to be completed successfully. This is where Plesner's Energy and Infrastructure team will be able to contribute experience and expertise gained from our many years of involvement in the largest energy and infrastructure projects and transactions in Denmark.

Our advice covers all phases and aspects in all types of projects and transactions in the energy and infrastructure sector – from project development, acquisition or divestment and regulatory advice to dispute solution.
