Thanks to many colleagues at Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy for the #globalenergysummit this week and our participation. Insightful and timely. Several takeaways on recent political/security events and energy markets: - There is a structural change in #risk profile; - #Geopolitical risk is the most cited #macroeconomic concern by international institutional investors; - Shift towards government intervention as #governance models have been ineffective; - The rise of #defense expenditures will impact energy markets as well.

Great analysis from our Clifford Chance Americas Energy & Infrastructure team. We have been seeing more focus on renewable energy in the real estate space over the past few years (including solar panels and leases), so I will be interested to see how these impacts may play out in the #realestate market.

On May 13, 2024, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued the final rule of highly anticipated reforms to regional transmission planning processes. Order No. 1920 implements a number of key provisions to facilitate the buildout of new interstate transmission facilities. https://ow.ly/6N6V50RIMze

Honored to be featured in Bloomberg Law's article exploring the potential impacts of the recent election on the #energy sector. A special shoutout to our friends at Gibson Dunn and Vinson & Elkins for their invaluable contributions and perspectives. Key insights from the article include: 🚀 Approval of energy deals likely to speed up with lighter antitrust regulations. 🏛 Streamlined regulations may make energy deals more attractive, especially in oil and gas. 📈 Increased likelihood for continued interest in energy IPOs and M&A opportunities. 🖋 Increased likelihood for amendments to drilling, transportation, and service agreements as parties navigate changes in tax structures and international trade policies. 📉 Potential reduction of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits for green energy projects which could slow down near term investment in renewables. 2025 should be a very active year for Seyfarth Shaw LLP and other #energy #dealmakers! #EnergyLaw #MergersandAcquisitions #OilandGas #EnergyIndustry #Seyfarth

The world is experiencing one of the most significant transformations of our era— the energy transition. Our mission at Vinson & Elkins is clear: to collaboratively help our clients meet the dual challenge of meeting the world’s demand for energy and decarbonization.    This transition will require not only substantial investments and innovation but also new approaches to regulation, risk management, and dispute resolution. The challenges for investors, policy makers, lawyers and consumers – which means all of us – are immense.  The transition will be best accomplished by informed dialogue about the costs of energy, the impact on economic growth and the most efficient ways to achieve decarbonization.    I spoke with Dan Loney, host of “Wharton Business Daily,” about how navigating the road ahead presents challenges and opportunities.

US Election 2024: Global Implications - What the Trump-Vance Administration’s Mandate Could Mean for Energy Project Development Join us for a webinar exploring the potential impact of the incoming administration and the newly elected congressional majorities on energy tax policy. We will discuss the possible elimination of various Inflation Reduction Act tax credits in light of other potential tax cuts that may be proposed by the incoming Trump-Vance administration. Additionally, we will examine how potential changes in energy tax and environmental policies could impact the development of various energy projects—including fossil fuels, renewables, low-carbon technologies, and nuclear—and explore the broader implications for Biden-Harris administration initiatives aimed at addressing climate change. #wearemorganlewis https://lnkd.in/eJyQe38J
