Hunton & Williams is known in the market for its strong project finance practice. The firm seems to have a particular acumen for advising on financings for domestic projects, and is increasingly seen in the renewable space. As the Thai government continues to subsidise and invest in domestic green energy projects, the firm should have a good place in the market moving forward. "Hunton & Williams is one of the firms you think of when you think of project finance practices in Thailand," says a competitor.
In 2010, Hunton & Williams advised Natural Energy Development Company (NED) in connection with development and project financing for the construction of one of a Thai solar farm that will be one of the largest in the world. The investment value of the plant will be close to Bt8 billion ($250 million), and it is anticipated that operation of the plant will begin in the latter half of 2011. The domestic project is especially important because it is seen as part of the government's plan for a renewable energy policy.
