Shu Pin writes about what she sees in practice. Malaysia’s renewable energy sector is not built on one framework. Different schemes and project structure — the Large Scale Solar (LSS), Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS), the Community Renewable Energy Aggregation Mechanism (CREAM), Solar ATAP, SELCO and BESS projects, all come with different legal and commercial issues. The contracts that underpin renewable energy projects carry risks that are not always visible until they become problems. The regulatory and approval requirements that developers and investors overlook are often the ones that delay commissioning.
Solar remains a core focus. These articles also reflect the wider matters Shu Pin works on — BESS, carbon market documentation including ERPAs, corporate and commercial matters, intellectual property, conveyancing, real estate, wills, probate and succession planning. No theory. No filler. Just legal issues that matter in practice.
Notes on solar schemes, BESS projects – LSS, CRESS, CREAM, SELCO, Solar ATAP and project contracts such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Bilateral Energy Supply Contracts (BESCs), Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (EPCC) contracts, Operations & Maintenance (O&M) agreements, land leases, BESS Supply Agreements, BESS Leasing Agreements and Storage Service Agreements — and the legal risks behind them.
Carbon Markets & Environmental Attributes Notes on carbon market documentation, Emission Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPAs), carbon credit sale arrangements, renewable energy certificates, green attribute clauses and sustainability-related contract terms — and the legal risks behind them.
Contracts, joint ventures, shareholders’ arrangements and corporate issues behind business decisions.
Trademarks, industrial designs, objections and registration issues for brands and products.
Property transactions, title transfers, caveats, tenancy arrangements and real estate documentation.
