Energy

Regulated infrastructures are long-established core areas of OPPENLÄNDER. In the energy markets, we advise on current issues from the use of renewable energies, trading in greenhouse gas reduction quotas, biomethane, security of gas supply and charging stations infrastructure. There can hardly be any other law firm with recourse to greater experience in questions of pricing of the use of infrastructure. That applies to electricity and gas, but also to water, the use of railway stations and the pricing of distant heating networks.

Advising on interface issues is a particular strength of our law firm. We can support our clients particularly effectively with our unique know-how combination in that dynamic environment. Our knowledge of the energy industry acquired over many years is combined with excellent anti-trust law, IT law and public law expertise. We have therefore become law firm of first choice for energy providers.
