This conference is co-sponsored by ALI CLE and the Environmental Law Institute.
Why You Should Attend
A confluence of deregulatory executive orders, shifting judicial deference standards, and widespread agency staffing cuts has put energy infrastructure and environmental oversight in a state of flux. Against the backdrop of major federal investments in energy infrastructure, new executive actions and regulatory shifts are raising complex legal questions about agency authority, permitting, cost-benefit analysis, and climate accountability.
Be ready with answers by joining us for this webcast! You’ll get up-to-speed on the rapidly evolving intersection of environmental regulation, energy law, and infrastructure development, with a particular focus on the electricity sector and renewable energy transition in light of policy uncertainties under a new Administration.
What You Will Learn
Multiple environmental statutes often converge on a single energy asset. When policy reversals are proposed, the potential for long-tail liabilities are real. Alongside today’s uncertainties and instability, practitioners need to stay on top of rapid-fire developments as they happen. This 90-minute webcast provides you with the key updates you need to know and what they mean for your clients.
Our panel of experts from the public and private sectors will discuss:
- The current U.S. electricity mix and how we got here
- Regulatory developments reshaping environmental and energy law, including Executive Orders 14154, 14192, and 14215, and associated OMB guidance, with major implications for cost-benefit analysis, climate impact quantification, and agency independence
- Permitting bottlenecks and transmission gaps, including multiagency approvals and DoE’s new CITAP program and NIETC designations
- Offshore wind permitting freezes, stop-work orders, and litigation
- Litigation trends for halting or delaying infrastructure projects, where it is most likely, and how to preemptively manage them
- Future predictions for federal developments, resilience, managing demands, and possible state actions to backfill gaps
Get a roadmap to understanding today’s high-stakes energy transition as well as foresight into the confluence of environmental regulations, political turnover, and market forces.
