Foley Hoag is proud to have advised
The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a global conservation organization committed to protecting the lands and waters on which all life depends, in connection with its purchase agreement with Brookfield Renewable Partners (Brookfield) for four dams on the lower Kennebec River in Maine. These include the Lockwood, Hydro-Kennebec, Shawmut and Weston dams.
TNC and its partners seek to return free-flowing conditions to the lower Kennebec River through a mix of dam decommissioning, removal, and other efforts, partnering with communities to ensure the region benefits both economically and ecologically from the restoration process. Brookfield plans to continue owning, operating and investing in the state to produce low-carbon energy for years to come.
The Foley Hoag team advising TNC included Adam Kahn, Jonathan Book and Kevin Chen.
