The successful development of any energy project in Georgia, whether in renewable generation or hydrocarbon exploration, is fundamentally dependent on navigating the state's intricate licensing framework. A misstep in this critical phase can lead to significant delays and financial loss. Legal Sandbox Georgia provides premier legal services dedicated to securing all necessary energy licenses. We possess an exhaustive understanding of the governing legislation, including the Law of Georgia on Licenses and Permits, the Law on Energy and Water Supply, and sector-specific regulations. Our process involves managing every detail of the application, from preparing the initial documentation and liaising with state bodies like the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, to ensuring the final license is issued without complication, thereby safeguarding your project's legal and operational integrity from day one.
For investors in Georgia's high-potential renewable energy sector, we offer specialized guidance for solar and hydropower projects. The path to obtaining a generation license is multi-faceted, beginning with securing a construction permit and successfully completing a mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment. Our team meticulously prepares and submits all required technical, financial, and environmental documentation in accordance with the Law "On Encouraging the Production and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources." We provide critical legal support in negotiating land rights, securing grid connection agreements, and structuring Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that ensure the long-term commercial viability of your solar farm or hydropower plant, transforming your investment into a fully licensed and profitable operation.
The oil and gas industry operates under a distinct and highly regulated framework governed by the Law of Georgia on Oil and Gas. Legal Sandbox Georgia delivers the specialized expertise necessary to succeed in this competitive field. We guide clients through the entire process of acquiring exploration and production licenses, starting with the preparation of compelling and compliant bids for licensing rounds announced by the State Agency of Oil and Gas. Our legal counsel is indispensable during the negotiation of Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs), where we work to secure favorable terms regarding exploration periods, cost recovery mechanisms, and royalty obligations. From initial bidding to final contract execution, we provide the robust legal support required to secure your rights and protect your substantial investment in Georgia's hydrocarbon sector.
