Last week’s sweeping regulatory shifts from the Department of the Interior and Department of Transportation mark a major turning point in how wind, solar, and transmission projects are permitted on federal lands. From revoked Wind Energy Areas to new NEPA mandates prioritizing “capacity density,” the path forward has become more complex — and less predictable.
But with disruption comes opportunity for those who can adapt.
At ESE Partners, we help energy developers take advantage of streamlined permitting pathways where available — and strategically navigate around new barriers when needed.
- We evaluate project eligibility for FAST-41, Programmatic NEPA reviews, and Categorical Exclusions.
- Our experts lead NEPA, ESA, MBTA, and Section 106compliance — including tribal consultation and agency coordination.
- We assist with project redesign, land-use pivoting to private/state lands, and defensible environmental documentation for long-term risk mitigation.
- We specialize in non-intermittent and hybrid energy strategies that remain viable in this changing regulatory environment.
While some permitting processes appear streamlined on paper, they remain fluid, evolving, and subject to political and legal shifts. ESE Partners stays current with every development — so our clients don’t fall behind.
As Texas’ Most Trusted Environmental Experts, we combine regional insight with national permitting knowledge to move your project forward with clarity and confidence.
