About This Course
As the landscape for renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure continues to change, so too do the legal frameworks surrounding them. This CLE program explores these developments at the crossroads of climate resilience and land use regulation, giving lawyers a clear picture of the current regulatory environment.
We’ll take a close look at how zoning ordinances, permitting processes, and newly introduced state and federal requirements impact the siting of clean energy facilities and EV charging stations. In addition, the session will highlight the increasing role of federal incentives and evolving statutory guidelines in shaping local decision-making.
Whether you advise local governments, energy companies, or project developers, this course will help you anticipate legal challenges and craft informed strategies in this fast-moving area of practice.
