Steve Gummer
Sharpe Pritchard LLP
Possessing deep expertise regarding green and sustainability projects within the public and regulated sectors, Sharpe Pritchard LLP’s head of net zero Steve Gummer is a key contact on regulatory and development mandates.
For key client Ofgem, Gummer advised on revenue arrangements, regulatory protections, and monopoly and competition matters for its first-of-a-kind project licence for carbon capture, transport, and storage. The mandate was crucial in facilitating the adoption of the new licence and plays a key role in the delivery of the Northern Endurance Partnership and Net Zero Teesside Power projects.
Complementing his thought leadership regarding sustainability and environmental issues in the water sector, Gummer regularly authors articles into topics across the energy and low-carbon transition. Gummer’s recent insights include explorations into heat network frameworks, long-duration energy storage regulation, and the UK’s carbon and nature markets.
