Legal toolkit for energy hubs with GTO

Investments in energy hubs often get stuck on legal uncertainty and lack of financeability. With a new legal toolkit, Invest-NL and Kennedy Van der Laan make it easier for companies to jointly establish an energy hub and conclude a group transport agreement (GTA). This enables companies to continue growing and becoming more sustainable within the existing grid capacity.

The toolkit consists of four legal models:

• a deed of incorporation and statutes for an energy hub cooperative;
• a members’ agreement regulating collaboration between the companies;
• an installation agreement for jointly controlled assets, such as batteries or charging infrastructure, contributed by a company;
• a list of subjects for the service agreement for collective energy management.
