Conference: Clean Energy in a Time of Shifting Federal Policy

The Institute for Policy Integrity’s annual conference will focus on the changing landscape of the energy sector in the wake of recent federal deregulatory actions, Inflation Reduction Act changes, and other policy shifts. Panels will explore the evolving economics of low-carbon energy as the industry responds to policy developments, the legal outlook for key energy rules and related executive actions facing litigation, and broader shifts that could be on the horizon for clean energy.
