Energy and infrastructure
“Avance’s ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters is very strong.”
— Chambers
Energy independence and the creation of a low-carbon economy are central pillars of Finnish energy policy. This has been reflected in a strong emphasis on sustainable industrial transformation with recent key developments, including the significant increase of renewable energy production capacity, industrial-scale heat recovery and combined heat and power solutions, energy storage, system flexibility and power-to-X projects, as well as nuclear and energy-intensive green industry initiatives. These market developments attract significant inflow of foreign investment. Our team has been involved in this journey and has held a leading role in significant energy and infrastructure transactions and projects in the Finnish market.
We work closely with both energy and infrastructure companies and investors looking for opportunities within the sector, offering comprehensive advisory services that extend from transactional and structural advisory to regulatory guidance and strategic insight.
