In a unique project financed by the Renewable EnergyRenewable energy is power generated from infinite sources, such as wind or solar power. Conventional energy is generated from finite sources, such as natural gas or fossil oil. and Energy EfficiencyUsing less energy/electricity to perform the same function. Programs designed to use electricity more efficiently - doing the same with less. Partnership (REEEPThe Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is a non-profit, specialist change agent aiming to catalyse the market for renewable energy and energy efficiency, with a primary focus on emerging markets and developing countries.) and implemented by the Government of Canada’s RETScreen International in association with The EnergyThe ability to perform work, mainly kinetic, potential, thermal energy, but also in forms of gravitational, sound, elastic and electromagnetic energy. + Environment Foundation, New York and Washington, D.C. energy lawyers have donated their time pro bono to create templates of key legal documents required for clean energy projects.

Templates of legal documents used for wind farmA group of wind turbines interconnected to a common power provider system through a system of transformers, distribution lines, and (usually) one substation. Operation, control, and maintenance functions are often centralized through a network of computerized monitoring systems, supplemented by ... and other renewable energy projects are available on the RETScreen website.

The RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software® is a comprehensive clean energy decision-making tool for analyzing the financial viability of renewable-energy and energy-efficient technologies (RETs).  The software, whose aim is to reduce the transaction costs (both financial and time) associated with identifying and assessing clean energy projects, is available free of charge in 30 languages covering 2/3rds of the world’s population.

“A variety of energy project model documents and suites of documents can be downloaded for free and then modified to meet local conditions.  Our goal is to provide developers and attorneys access to these templates to help save in legal costs” stated Dr. Craig Hart, counsel in Alston & Bird’s Energy Infrastructure & Climate ChangeClimate change is a lasting change in weather patterns over long periods of time. It can be a natural phenomena and and has occurred on Earth even before people inhabited it. Quite different is a current situation that is also referred to as climate change, anthropogenic climate change, or ... Practice, and Executive Director of the Energy + Environment Foundation, in Washington, DC.

The legal documentation project was launched today in New Delhi and the project received endorsement from India’s renewable energy agency, IREDA. “RETScreen aims to reduce the transaction costs of clean energy project development, but until this stage, nobody has ever addressed the legal costs in such a comprehensive way,” stated Debashish Majumdar, Chairman and Managing Director of IREDA, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency.
