About Christine Delagaye
Christine Delagaye is a Partner and attorney-at-law at AKD's Brussels office. Her focus is on the energy and climate transition.
A central place in Christine’s practice is occupied by renewable energy and decarbonisation projects (including offshore and onshore wind, biomass, geothermal energy, district heating, hydrogen and carbon capture (including CCS and CCU)). She assists clients in negotiating and drafting development and framework agreements, construction and maintenance contracts (such as TSAs, SAAs, EPC and BOP contracts, often based on FIDIC templates) and power purchase agreements (physical and virtual (corporate) PPAs). In addition, she advises clients on regulatory energy law (with respect to subsidy mechanisms, for instance, or connection and access to the grid, ancillary services such as voltage control, security of supply (capacity remuneration mechanisms, for example), domain concessions and licences, and the regulation of underground and submarine cables and pipelines) and ESG. Christine has extensive experience handling project-financed projects and related bankability issues.
Christine is a member of AKD's Energy Industry Team. This team provides integrated legal support across all areas of law relevant to the energy transition. AKD's practice covers renewable energy, district heating, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and public and private grids. It supports clients on projects as well as disputes. The team advises clients throughout their project lifecycle, from early development and permitting to decommissioning, bringing together expertise in regulation, project development, contracting and financing, with a focus on the interaction between stakeholders, systems and projects driving the transition. AKD represents clients in disputes with regulators, public authorities and contracting parties, frequently in test cases on recent European and domestic energy laws.
