As the renewable energy industry has grown up, it's legal risks have too. Sure, we as an industry talk all the time about NIMBYism. But what about zoning and permitting litigation? What happens when a project produces stormwater runoff that damages a neighboring property? And how about all of these new incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act… who's on the hook if a project falls short of its obligations? Episode 38 of the Factor This! podcast features two attorneys working really closely on these issues. Matthew Karmel is the principal and chair of the Environmental and Sustainability Practice Group at the national law firm Offit Kurman. Yana Spitzer is in-house counsel at ENGIE North America. Karmel and Spitzer take us inside the courtroom for a look at the legal risk plaguing project developers today, and they point out the potholes to watch out for in the future. That's all next on Factor This! Tune in every Monday for new episodes wherever you get your podcasts. Be sure to download today and leave a review. Happy listening! Renewable Energy World®️ |
