Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Inc., a global operator of solar farms, has appointed Rob McDwyer as its general counsel in Australia. He replaces Matt Baumgurtel, who left FRV to join K&L Gates as a partner in the firm’s Sydney office.

Before he went to work for FRV, which is headquartered in Madrid, McDwyer had served for more than seven years as the Sydney-based GC of Infigen Energy, which describes itself as Australia’s largest listed owner of wind power generators with six wind farms operating in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia.
