Jay Gede has successfully developed and financed large energy and infrastructure projects in the United States and around the globe for three decades. He is an experienced advisor to developers, sponsors, lenders, equity participants, and technology providers to renewable energy, solar, hydro, thermal, and fossil fuel projects.
Widely recognized as an authority in the energy sector, Jay is a leader in the firm's Energy and Natural Resources industry sector. He leads teams that successfully develop and finance novel and difficult energy and infrastructure projects in the United States, Europe, Africa, Central America, South America, and the Middle East. Whether a trash-to-jet fuel first-of-its-kind technology project in the United States, a lake bed methane-fueled project in Rwanda, the initial rated financing of a wind portfolio, waste-to-energy projects across the United States, or the restructuring of IPP projects for the holder of the first FERC-issued power marketing license, Jay is at the forefront of the development and financing of large, cutting-edge projects.
As legal counsel, Jay understands both the legal and business issues on all sides of a project, enabling him to develop innovative solutions to difficult issues. Developing a structure to obtain an investment grade rating on a project-financed transaction where there are literally hundreds of non-investment quality suppliers of biomass fuel is a good and recent example.
Jay is not only a leader in the energy sector; he is a leader at Hogan Lovells. He has served as the Administrative Partner for the Baltimore Office, the Managing Partner of our Abu Dhabi office, the co-founder of our U.S. Renewable Energy practice, and one of the Co-Chairs of our international Energy group.
