Description

Wind power has scaled from a niche renewable technology to a multi-gigawatt global industry, with turbine capacities now exceeding 15MW and projects spanning onshore and offshore markets across six continents. Wind: Projects and Transactions, now in its second edition, is the standard legal and commercial reference for practitioners structuring these deals.

Edited by Munir Hassan of CMS London with contributions from leading energy lawyers across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas and Africa, the book works through the full transaction lifecycle: land agreements, the consenting process, revenue streams, construction and O&M contracts, project financing, and M&A activity, before turning to detailed regional analyses covering Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America and the United States.

The result is a genuinely comparative, practitioner-authored guide that lets in-house counsel, project financiers and regulators benchmark deal structures and regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions rather than working from a single-market playbook.
