Sarah Stewart

Gerald Eve are working at the leading edge of the energy transition, advising on sectors including wind, solar, batteries, hydropower, hydrogen, data centres, gigafactories, nuclear, e-mobility, carbon capture and closure and repurposing of retired fossil power stations.

The services we provide span development and land transactions, business rates, capital markets, valuations, lease advisory and planning. We also see this growing sector as an alternative real estate investment class with a huge opportunity for investors to deploy capital into the Net Zero transition over the coming decade. We work across the UK and increasingly overseas.

Our national energy team advises some of the sector’s leading names. We are also advisors to the Energy UK, Solar Energy UK and the Energy Networks Association.

The energy transition also has wide ranging implications for traditional real estate sectors and we are working with our landlord and occupier clients to understand how our offices, communities and logistics park will need to adapt to be Net Zero ready.

If you would like to hear more about my new role/ team or collaborate on any of the issues highlighted, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

My Experience

• I have experience in advising on projects relating to battery energy storage systems (BESS), thermal power, ports, offshore wind, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and renewables, as well as large-scale land regeneration projects.
• Key clients include SSE, RWE, Uniper, ABP, Centrica and Orsted.
• I am a member of the RICS and an RICS Assessor. I am committed to staying abreast of current issues in the market with other leading individuals in the sector and believe I can make a positive contribution to the Energy transition.
