Key Energy Policy Areas
Tax Credits & Incentives
Federal tax credits drive energy investment decisions worth billions of dollars. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) for renewables, 45Q for carbon capture, and 48C for advanced manufacturing are critical to project economics. We connect you with firms that have deep relationships with Senate Finance and House Ways & Means committees and can advocate for tax credit extensions, modifications, and new incentives.
Permitting & Siting
Energy infrastructure projects face complex permitting requirements across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. From NEPA reviews to Army Corps permits to state siting boards, navigating permitting can take years. We identify firms with expertise in FERC, DOE, BLM, and state public utility commissions, plus relationships with relevant appropriations and authorizing committees working on permitting reform.
Grid Modernization & Infrastructure
The electricity grid needs massive investment in transmission, distribution, and smart grid technology. Federal infrastructure funding, FERC transmission planning, and state utility regulation all affect grid investment. We match you with firms experienced in infrastructure policy and relationships with Senate Energy & Natural Resources, House Energy & Commerce, and FERC.
Climate & Environmental Policy
Climate policy drives energy regulation at all levels. From EPA greenhouse gas rules to state clean energy mandates to renewable portfolio standards, climate considerations affect every energy sector. We connect you with firms that understand climate policy debates and have relationships with EPA, DOE, relevant congressional committees, and state environmental agencies.
Why Energy-Specialized Firms Matter
Technical Complexity
Energy policy involves highly technical subjects: grid reliability, renewable integration, capacity markets, transmission planning, reserve margins, renewable energy certificates (RECs). Effective energy lobbying requires genuine understanding of these technical concepts and the ability to explain them to non-technical policymakers.
Multi-Jurisdictional Regulation
Energy regulation happens at federal, state, and local levels simultaneously. FERC regulates wholesale electricity markets and interstate transmission. State public utility commissions regulate retail rates and resource planning. Local governments control siting and permitting. Specialized firms have the infrastructure to navigate all three levels.
Committee Expertise
Energy legislation flows through specific committees: Senate Energy & Natural Resources, House Energy & Commerce, and the appropriations subcommittees for Energy & Water Development. Tax policy affecting energy goes through Finance and Ways & Means. Specialized firms maintain long-term relationships with these committee members and staff.
Regulatory Agency Relationships
Federal energy regulation involves multiple agencies: FERC, DOE, EPA, BLM, BOEM, Army Corps. Each has different processes, priorities, and decision-makers. Energy-specialized lobbyists understand these agencies and have established relationships with key officials and staff.
