November Elections Outlook: Impacts and Considerations on Energy, Climate Policies, and Infrastructure - New York

With the changing landscape surrounding the November 2024 election, the intersection of policies and regulations is crucial to consider. The potential for shifts in policy approaches on energy and climate are looming concerns on the horizon for corporate practices.

Members of our Public Policy and Law practice will lead a dynamic bipartisan roundtable discussion alongside members of our Energy and Tax practices. The conversation will explore the implications of the post-convention elections landscape on key policies, as well as highlight important reminders and considerations regarding complying with political contributions law.

Key takeaways will include: 

• A review of potential impacts of the election results on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and future energy legislation, including tax credits, clean energy production grant and loan programs, manufacturing, and transportation projects under the IRA, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act.
• Updates on the implementation of these programs, including the status of rulemaking, guidance, and awards.
• Examination of how the changing political landscapes may influence Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies across industries.
• Strategies for corporate leadership on navigating challenges and opportunities related to the IRA, addressing the uncertainties surrounding these programs that must be accounted for in business planning, including political risks associated with the forthcoming federal elections.
