Our client, Faisal Spinning Mills Limited (FSML), recently signed an agreement with Orient Energy Systems Private Limited (Orient Energy) to establish a 4.5MW renewable wind power plant in Nooriabad.
RIAA Barker Gillette (Pakistan) acted for FSML on this renewable captive power project. We advised on regulations, taxation and other key areas and represented FSML in price negotiations, delivery, and performance liquidated damages. Our legal counsel covered assessing and mitigating risks, identifying opportunities and bringing the transaction to fruition.
The agreement comes at a time when implementing sustainable energy solutions is becoming increasingly necessary for industries across Pakistan. As grid electricity and fuel costs continue rising, textile, cement, and other energy-intensive industries are turning to sustainable captive power. Wind and solar plants provide attractive options to supplement and replace grid electricity and fuel generators.
“We were privileged to play an integral role in this renewable energy project between FSML and Orient Energy by providing strategic legal counsel and contributing to our client’s adoption of a forward-thinking and environmentally sustainable energy solution.”
