Construction and Permitting of New Fossil Fuel Plants

America’s energy generation mix will include fossil fuel powered facilities for decades to come.  Emission controls and mitigation strategies will change, but the basic challenges of project development will endure.  We have represented investors and lenders in evaluating the risks involved in these projects, as well as representing developers and owners of these new plants.  We have negotiated and designed innovative agreements to resolve challenges from environmentalists, allowing major fossil projects to proceed without the extensive delays attendant to the normal permitting process.

Sonnenschein’s lawyers have also helped investors in evaluating the risks involved in these projects, as well as representing the developers and owners of these new plants in every stage of siting, development and construction.  Our lawyers have assisted clients with resolution of the myriad of planning, zoning and construction permitting issues that accompany development of these sophisticated projects, as well as the contracts for construction of facilities totaling well into the billions of dollars.
