The energy and utilities sector is the lifeblood of a modern economy. The right to generate, distribute, or supply power is a license to operate critical national infrastructure. This domain is an intricate nexus of advanced technology, complex market rules, and stringent national policy, all under the watchful eye of the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC). Operating here is not for the faint of heart; it requires immense capital and, most importantly, impeccable legal and regulatory standing. Legal Sandbox Georgia provides the sophisticated legal architecture required to power your energy projects, ensuring you can build and operate with unwavering legal certainty.
We provide comprehensive legal assistance with obtaining licenses for the entire energy value chain. Whether your project involves energy production, such as a hydropower plant (HPP) or solar farm, the distribution and transmission of electricity, or the utility of supplying end-users, we navigate the complex licensing framework established by the Law of Georgia on Energy and Water Supply. We manage the rigorous application process, from advising on feasibility studies and technical compliance to demonstrating the financial and operational capacity required for approval by GNERC.
A license to operate in the energy sector comes with a heavy mantle of responsibility. We offer strategic guidance on ongoing compliance with energy regulations and standards. This is a continuous obligation that includes advising on tariff-setting methodologies, ensuring adherence to mandated quality of service standards, and navigating the complex rules of the ever-evolving energy market. Our proactive counsel ensures you meet all your regulatory obligations, preventing sanctions that could threaten your operational license and financial viability.
Given the high stakes and competitive nature of the energy market, disputes are a serious and frequent risk. Our company provides formidable representation in regulatory hearings and licensing disputes. We act as your staunch advocates before GNERC and, if necessary, in the Georgian courts. Whether the issue is a complex tariff dispute, a challenge to your market access, or an enforcement action from the regulator, we vigorously defend your license. This license is your most vital asset, and we ensure your right to power progress is protected.
