Foley & Lardner LLP partners Natalie Neals and Lynn Parins authored the POWER article, “Tariff Tempest: Renewables’ Route Through the Current Tariff Climate,” providing a detailed analysis of the evolving global tariff landscape and its potential impact on renewable energy projects.
The authors offer historical background on the two general categories of tariffs and duties that renewable energy sponsors should consider, explore current trade policy shifts, and share practical strategies project sponsors can consider to navigate the uncertainty.
“Whatever the forms these mechanisms take, what is increasingly evident in the current tariff environment is that it is rapidly changing,” the authors conclude. “Therefore, the renewable energy industry—and the utilities and other marketers and consumers of power that they serve—will need to be ready to regularly adapt to these changes. With load growth projections as they are, there are ample reasons for all parties to find mutually workable solutions.
