Our Practice Areas

Energy & Environment

Powering the future with strategic legal counsel for renewable energy and environmental compliance.

Overview

The transition to renewable energy is reshaping the Malaysian commercial landscape. Navigating the regulatory framework of the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) and the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) requires precise legal expertise. At ARC, we advise developers, investors, and landowners on the legal intricacies of green energy projects, with a specific focus on solar photovoltaic (PV) developments.

What We Cover

We provide end-to-end advisory for renewable energy projects and environmental sustainability:

Solar Power Purchase Agreements (SPPA)

Drafting and reviewing Solar PPAs (including SARE structures) to clearly define tariff rates, system performance guarantees, and termination clauses between investors and commercial off-takers.

EPC & O&M Contracts

Structuring Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreements and long-term Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contracts to manage project risk and deliverables.

Regulatory Compliance & Licensing

Advising on compliance with the Electricity Supply Act, SEDA guidelines, and application processes for Large Scale Solar (LSS) or Net Energy Metering (NEM) quotas.

Land Use & Environmental Due Diligence

Handling land lease agreements for solar farms and advising on environmental impact requirements for industrial projects.

Our Approach

Energy projects are long-term commitments, often spanning 21 years or more. We don’t just look at getting the deal signed; we look at the long-term viability of the contract. Our goal is to ensure your project is bankable, compliant, and commercially secure for its entire lifecycle.
