Ukraine

In addition to providing investors, green energy producers, and financial institutions with comprehensive regulatory advice on green energy projects, Ukrainian firm GOLAW has experience assisting both Ukranian and international clients in the development of solar, wind, and hydroelectric power plants, as well as biomass- and biogas-based power plants, the acquisition of facilities, and day-to-day operations.

A current client is TIU Canada, a subsidiary of the Canadian investment fund REFRACTION Asset Management, for which the firm is handling a range of matters related to the export of green energy from Ukraine to Europe, including the preparation of a detailed legal memorandum and action plan for the implementation of the electricity import mechanism.

In another mandate, the firm is advising KBPP Management and a group of Irish investors on the drafting and implementation of the tender for the selection of the new EPC contractor for the development of a large-scale biomass power plant in the Khmelnytsky region.

The team includes Valentyn Gvozdiy and Oleksandr Melnyk, who are known for regularly representing clean and renewable energy developers, financiers, and contractors in the full life cycle of RES projects. Sergiy Oberkovych is another key contact, noted for routinely handling both project finance and development matters for a number of energy sector clients, with a particular focus on large-scale power, renewables, and infrastructure projects.

The firm is a member of the Associated European Energy Consultants (AEEC) and cooperates with European, Ukrainian, and global partners, including IKEM and Bill Gates Breakthrough Energy, to develop a strategy for a sustainable and climate-neutral energy sector in Ukraine.
