Renewable Energy and related legal services cover a broad spectrum of green energy, including hydro, wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. This sector enjoys priority state support in Georgia, manifested in special legislation and investment incentives. However, renewable energy projects involve specific regulations such as Guarantees of Origin, net metering, premium tariffs, and energy auctions. Investors need to understand how these mechanisms work and ensure project compliance with both national and international standards.
Renewable energy experts represented on the Legal.ge platform offer comprehensive legal consultation. Services include:
- Regulatory framework analysis: Interpreting the "Law on Renewable Energy" and bylaws, and tailoring them to the client's project.
- Applying for state support: Legal assurance for participating in CFD (Contract for Difference) auctions and procedures for obtaining premium tariffs.
- Managing Guarantees of Origin: Legal issues related to obtaining and trading green energy certificates.
- Net metering system: Integrating small-capacity plants (solar panels) into the net metering system and regulating surplus energy sales.
- Creating Energy Communities: Legal support for establishing "Energy Communities," allowing citizens to jointly produce energy.
Renewable energy services are relevant in the following scenarios:
- A hotel owner wants to install solar panels and benefit from net metering. A lawyer helps them sign an agreement with the distribution company.
- An international company plans to invest in a wind farm and needs a guarantee that the state will purchase the energy. A lawyer ensures participation in the auction.
- A rural community wants to build a small HPP for self-consumption. A lawyer helps them establish an energy cooperative.
- An investor wants to produce "green hydrogen" and needs an analysis of the regulatory environment.
The field is regulated by the Law of Georgia on Promoting the Production and Utilization of Energy from Renewable Sources. This law sets national renewable energy targets and support schemes. Also important is the Law on Energy Efficiency. The issuance of green certificates is regulated by ESCO (Electricity System Commercial Operator).
