Willpower and dedication combined with several years of experience have resulted in Per Hemmer being one of Denmark’s leading energy and climate specialists.

Per has specific in-depth knowledge of energy sector regulation and the substantial changes the sector has undergone during the past three decades. Per has considerable experience establishing public utilities and setting up their regulatory framework as well as organisation and ownership structure. He has been responsible for some of the largest transactions in the energy sector covering state, municipal and private enterprises.

Per has been involved in large onshore and offshore wind turbine projects, but also projects including other types of renewable energy generation, such as solar power, biogas and geothermal energy. He also advises enterprises engaged in handling greenhouse gas emissions by way of, among other things, new technology, such as carbon capture and storage. Per is also experienced in handling other climate-related projects, such as surplus heat and remote cooling projects.

Last but not least, Per is a sought-after adviser to the oil and gas industry, providing consultancy services to several Danish and non-Danish oil and gas companies on licence and contract issues in Denmark and Greenland.

His profound insight into all fields of energy law has made him a much respected legal adviser in Denmark and abroad as well as a trusted adviser to some of the largest Danish and non-Danish energy and utility companies.
