Legal Support for the Energy and Renewables Sector

The energy and renewables sector is evolving rapidly, and Yorkshire is playing a central role in shaping the UK’s cleaner, greener future. At Harrowells, we advise landowners, developers, and energy companies involved in a broad range of projects, from large-scale infrastructure to local renewable schemes.

Whether you're negotiating land use for solar farms, wind turbines and related transmission and battery storage infrastructure, our specialist legal team is here to guide you through the complex commercial, regulatory and land access, usage and ownership considerations that come with energy projects.

We understand the long-term nature of these agreements and the importance of getting the detail right from the outset. We offer clear, commercially focused advice that protects your interests and maximises the value of your land or investment.
