Recently, as policy changes in the solar market are accelerating, including the enforcement of the Special Act on Activation of Distributed Energy and reforms to network usage fees, thorough legal preparation is increasingly required for companies to carry out RE100 reliably.
Attorney Kim Seong-woo of Solaris Law Office participated in the ‘PV_PPA KOREA Conference’ held on September 25 at Daegu EXCO (EXCO), and provided industry stakeholders with in-depth insights under the theme 'PPA Business Promotion and Operations: Practical A to Z'. At the lecture, Attorney Kim comprehensively explained legal issues and practical response strategies across the entire process of concluding power purchase agreements (PPAs).
In particular, as the regional differentiated system marginal price (SMP) scheme is introduced and the power market is restructured, contract structures between power supply businesses and demand companies are becoming more complex. Attorney Kim emphasized the importance of preparing specific legal mechanisms in advance to identify and defend against grid interconnection issues that may arise when concluding PPAs directly, the criteria for calculating damages resulting from breach of contract, and the risk of regulatory changes associated with long-term contracts.
Based on its high understanding of the renewable energy market and extensive practical experience, Solaris Law Office will continue to provide specialized legal counsel so that companies can establish optimized RE100 implementation and PPA business strategies without legal risks, even in a rapidly changing policy environment.
