Renewable Energy

"Use & value renewable resources & services." Permaculture Principle

As of August 2015, the Government of Australia continues to clamp down on any laws that support renewable energies. Despite the lack of Government support, the business world continues to embrace new technologies and business models that are a win for all - the environment, the local economy and the investors. Because of the harsh political environment, many innovative social entrepreneurs have come up with inspiring new solutions - such as community driven renewable energy projects. 

At Ludwig Lawyers, we can advise you on all legal aspects relating to renewables.
