NNWLS Lunchtime Seminar - EnergyCo - New England Renewable Energy Zone

Engaging with EnergyCo and its legal documents

EnergyCo is proposing to acquire property interests for the purposes of the New England Renewable Energy Zone (NE REZ) project. This presentation aims to assist local lawyers and regional law firms to advise property owners and other interest holders (such as tenants) whose land is affected by a proposed acquisition. The presentation will cover:

• a brief overview of the types of property interests that EnergyCo may acquire;
• EnergyCo’s acquisition and negotiation process under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991;
• the template agreements that EnergyCo has developed to assist in concluding negotiated agreements, including standard easement terms; and
• practical tips for lawyers gained from the experiences on the Central West-Orana REZ (CWO REZ) project.

The presentation will be led by Brendan Bateman, Partner, and Sally Campbell, Senior Associate, from Clayton Utz, who have acted for EnergyCo on the CWO REZ and Hunter Transmission projects, and are currently advising EnergyCo on the NE REZ project. A representative of EnergyCo will also be available to answer any general questions regarding the NE REZ project.
