Counsel

Christine Delagaye is counsel at AKD. Her focus is on the energy and climate transition.

A central place in Christine’s practice is occupied by renewable energy and decarbonisation projects (including offshore and onshore wind, biomass, geothermal energy, district heating, hydrogen and carbon capture (including CCS and CCU)). She assists clients in negotiating and drafting development and framework agreements, construction and maintenance contracts (such as TSAs, SAAs, EPC and BOP contracts, often based on FIDIC templates) and power purchase agreements (physical and virtual (corporate) PPAs). In addition, she advises clients on regulatory energy law (with respect to subsidy mechanisms, for instance, or connection and access to the grid, ancillary services such as voltage control, security of supply (capacity remuneration mechanisms, for example), domain concessions and licences, and the regulation of underground and submarine cables and pipelines) and ESG. Christine has extensive experience handling project-financed projects and related bankability issues.
