Blacks Solicitors Powers Up as Property Investors Rush Toward Renewable Energy
Blacks Solicitors, the dynamic Leeds-based law firm, is riding a wave of booming demand as property investors race to cash in on the renewable energy revolution. Over the past year, the firm has seen a staggering three-fold increase in requests for legal advice on Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), those vital long-term contracts that are transforming rooftops and land into clean energy hubs.
This surge comes as businesses nationwide scramble to lock in stable, affordable energy through solar, wind, and EV infrastructure. In fact, the number of two-year PPAs signed across the UK jumped 20% between 2022 and 2023, signalling a sharp shift toward green energy solutions that not only slash carbon footprints but also create fresh revenue streams.
Nick Dyson, Head of Real Estate at Blacks, sums it up: “Landlords and investors are waking up to the huge potential of renewables. Whether it’s leasing space for solar panels or installing EV charging points, the opportunities are vast but getting the legal details right is absolutely critical to protect income and manage risk.”
Blacks are not just advising clients they’re shaping the future of UK infrastructure. The firm recently hosted a powerful panel at UKREiiF alongside major industry players, spotlighting how electrification and legal innovation are key to hitting net zero.
With more than 600 new matters handled last year, Blacks’ Real Estate team is the go-to partner for anyone ready to harness clean energy’s full potential. As property investors like Alex Serr attest, “Blacks’ expert legal guidance has been a game-changer for unlocking the benefits of renewable projects.”
As the UK accelerates towards a greener future, Blacks Solicitors stands ready to power up property portfolios and lead the clean energy charge.
