Wednesday, May 15, 2024

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM CST

Location: Room 320, Level 3

Texas has been a leader in renewable energy development and a great place to do business. As local jurisdictions are testing their authority to stop renewable development and the state legislature is exploring massive permitting requirements for the industry, how do we maintain momentum? This session will explore how these potential regulations could impact your project development and bottom line and what role stakeholders should be prepared to play in mitigating potential impacts.
