Emerging Energy Tech: From Pilot to Utility-Scale
Ensuring Transmission, Permitting, and Bankability
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Nascent energy technologies face many obstacles on the path to operation. Projects must navigate long-range transmission planning, NEPA review, species/eagle permit risk, and shifting tech-neutral credits and hydrogen/CCUS rules under administrative flux. The panelists will unpack how these changes translate into interconnection queue strategy, critical-path permit sequencing, and financeable offtake. Where do first-of-a-kind projects stall?
Listen as our panel discusses the financial and regulatory challenges to advancing hydrogen, CCUS, long-duration storage, advanced nuclear, and next-gen renewables from concept to commercial operation.
