U.S. energy requirements, policy, and regulations are changing rapidly. Numerous large-scale energy projects are underway, and generation, supply, and distribution infrastructure is evolving at an unprecedented rate. With these shifts, the focus has turned to energy transmission and pipelines, including regulatory updates, stormwater and erosion and sedimentation control requirements, environmental impact analysis and permitting, and construction monitoring. On January 29, 2019, ELI and AECOM co-sponsored a seminar where leading experts explored these changes and challenges in energy transmission. This Article presents a transcript of the discussion, which has been edited for style, clarity, and space considerations.
