Polsinelli helps clients advance the projects, transactions and infrastructure required to meet the rising demand for reliable energy.

With more than $100 billion in energy transactions completed nationwide, Polsinelli’s energy practice brings tested project and deal experience to the infrastructure powering a changing market. We guide large-scale, complex projects from inception through completion, representing energy consumers, developers, lenders and investors across the country. Our experience spans wind, solar, battery storage and natural gas generation projects, with more than 20,000 MW of operating renewable and storage projects nationwide, and significant work supporting data center developers, cloud computing companies and other large energy users.

We advise clients through the local and state issues that shape energy projects, including the project delays and permit denials that pose the greatest risk to projects. With experience spanning thousands of hours of public engagement — including leading project public engagement and opposition mitigation for dozens of energy projects and data centers — we can provide training and implementation for public outreach, subject matter expert assembly, opposition mitigating public meetings, information sessions, town halls and related efforts. Polsinelli’s energy group brings the unique combination of development, regulatory and opposition mitigation needed for today’s challenging energy climate.
