SGR's Sustainability Practice Group is proud to have provided the legal support to our client, Cherry Street Energy, in reaching a groundbreaking agreement with Emory University to install and operate 5.5 MW of solar energy across Emory's Atlanta campus. Per Emory's press release, found here, the Solar Energy Procurement Agreement (SEPA) establishing Cherry Street's project will result in "one of the largest deployments of on-site solar power at a higher education institution in the Southeast." SGR has represented Cherry Street Energy since it was founded to take advantage of the market created by the Solar Power Free Market Financing Act of 2015. SGR provided legal support for the drafting, negotiation and enactment of that law by the Georgia General Assembly in 2015. For more information on Cherry Street Energy or Solar Energy Procurement Agreements, contact Steve O'Day.
