“Great content and will help me be more successful at permitting large scale (or all size) solar power projects in the future.”
Analyst, Planning & Engineering, ibV Energy Partners“Each of the topics and speakers were very informative.”
Realty Specialist, DOI BOR Lower Colorado Basin Resource Management Office“This conference delivered unmatched insights into the latest permitting and siting changes for utility-scale solar, storage, and transmission projects. The presenters’ real-world experience and practical guidance on navigating complex state, federal, and tribal processes provided exactly what industry professionals need to move projects forward with confidence.”
Permitting Expeditor, Primoris Renewable Energy“There was great content provided by some excellent presenters!”
Project Manager, UlteigPermitting delays remain one of the largest sources of cost and schedule risk for energy projects. As federal and state agencies introduce new procedures and coordination frameworks, developers, utilities, consultants, and regulators must adapt their permitting strategies to keep projects on track.
This conference will bring together practitioners working directly on transmission, energy generation, and storage projects to examine how evolving federal and state permitting processes affect real project timelines. Through practical sessions on multi-agency coordination, federal land permitting, cultural resource compliance, community engagement, and emerging technologies, attendees will gain strategies to navigate regulatory complexity and reduce project risk. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how recent policy changes influence permitting pathways and how to structure projects to move more efficiently through environmental review and siting processes.

This session will review how changes at federal permitting agencies trickle down to permitting renewable energy projects and how permitting strategies are adapting.
Amy Antoniolli Counsel ArentFox Schiff
Transmission expansion is no longer just a policy priority; it is a business imperative. Yet the pathway across federal lands remains one of the largest variables in a developer’s schedule and cost model. This session translates the latest federal permitting developments into actionable strategies for developers, utilities, and investors pursuing multi state or cross jurisdictional transmission projects.
This session will explore how coordination among BLM, USFS, USACE, DOE, FERC and tribal governments is evolving under the 2025 regulatory landscape, including:
Ross Pilotte Policy Director SWCA
The federal government owns about 640 million acres of land in the United States, about 28% of the total land area of 2.27 billion acres. The majority (92%) of federal lands are located in Alaska and western states, managed by a range of federal agencies. Frequently more than one federal agency is involved in permitting. Because processes, schedules, and staffing for each agency varies, a multi-jurisdictional approach is often a necessity. This presentation will discuss considerations for siting and permitting projects on federal lands, as well as interagency interactions that can factor into schedule and permit requirements.
Doree Dufresne Senior Project Manager TRC Companies
There are numerous tensions regarding whether to set and how to achieve zero emissions goals. This session will examine how four states, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New York, approach emissions reduction through laws that seek to decarbonize and address the energy justice dimensions of siting decisions. It will also address how siting operates within each state’s permitting framework and highlight potential best practices in jurisdictions that have not adopted streamlined siting laws.
Danielle Stokes Associate Professor of Law University of Richmond School of Law
This session will take a practical look at federal and state laws regarding cultural resources (archaeology, architectural history, etc.). It will provide an overview of the laws and more importantly, how to work within those laws, even if they change during the development of your project. Also addressed will be the timing of investigations and consultations with agencies, Tribes, and stakeholders, plus coordination with NEPA and similar processes. This session will discuss approaches, opportunities, risk reduction, and provide advice on working with cultural consultants with confidence. By the end of the session attendees will feel confident approaching the cultural resource tasks for projects with a clear plan and the right questions.
Meg Thornton Director Bowman Consulting
