Our renewable energy attorneys were an integral part of Idaho’s largest wind power project to date — consisting of 122 wind turbines located in 11 different sites throughout the state. We drafted organizational documents, authorizing resolutions, and legal opinions, and were heavily involved in due diligence, land use, permitting, and entitlement.
