With extensive renewable energy and Corporate PPA experience, DLA Piper will provide bespoke services to users of the Zeigo platform for a capped price.

DLA Piper’s team offers commercially astute support to a full range of clients in the sector including projects sponsors, corporations, investors, financial institutions, manufacturers, utilities, governments and regulatory bodies on all aspects of the renewable energy industry including wind, solar, hydro, energy-from-waste, biomass and biofuels.

Zeigo and DLA Piper share the same vision of a digital future. Juan Pablo Cerda, Zeigo’s founder & CEO notes:

“We are proud to partner with DLA Piper. We believe digitising the contractual process will be key to sign more PPAs in the future and we need all the help we can get.”

Further commenting, Natasha Luther-Jones, Global Co-Chair of Energy and Natural Resources at DLA Piper, says:

“We are very excited to support the digitisation of PPA contracting to allow a larger number of PPAs as well as enabling smaller volume PPAs to be concluded cost-effectively.
