Energy, Public Utilities & Solid Waste

In our modern society, ensuring efficient, consistent and safe production and delivery of energy and utility services is essential. As an industrial society, we are similarly obligated to manage the transportation, recycling and disposal of solid waste materials in a secure and environmentally responsible manner. The energy, public utility and solid waste industries are among the most heavily regulated sectors of the economy, with strict state and federal requirements governing aspects like pricing, safety, environmental impact, and service reliability. Greenbaum’s attorneys are skilled in all aspects of energy, public utilities and solid waste project development, guiding clients through the complexities of site control, interconnection, land use approval, environmental permitting, document preparation, tax considerations, economic incentives, regulatory counseling, and more. Our attorneys have substantial experience in energy project financing and regularly conduct comprehensive project due diligence for energy project owners, lenders and investors. Our continuous monitoring of legal and regulatory developments and related economic considerations associated with the energy, public utility and solid waste sectors has well positioned us to meet our clients’ business goals and compliance requirements.
