Her wide experience of project technologies includes combined heat and power (CHP), heat pumps, geothermal, aquifer thermal, solar PV, onshore wind, battery storage, energy from waste, biomass, anaerobic digestion and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. She acts for a range of clients including project developers, asset owners, operators, contractors and funders.
Rhianna has re-joined Trowers & Hamlins, having previously qualified with the firm in 2009.
Chris Paul, Head of Trowers' Energy & Sustainability team commented:
"We are thrilled to welcome Rhianna back to the firm and into our Energy and Sustainability team. The team continues to go from strength to strength and is doing exciting work at the cutting-edge of this dynamic and fast-moving sector. As our clients look to navigate net zero and the energy transition, it is great that we have the depth of experience to support them."
"Rhianna's appointment comes just a few months after fellow partner Josh Partridge joined the Energy & Sustainability team and it's tremendous to see our bench-strength so considerably enhanced."
Rhianna added:
"The Energy & Sustainability team at Trowers is making great strides in the sector. I am excited to be re-joining the firm and look forward to working alongside Chris and the team to further grow the firm's offering."
