As the demand for renewable energy surges—driven in part by AI-powered infrastructure and national energy goals—foreign investment in U.S.-based solar, battery storage, and wind projects is under increasing scrutiny. This timely webinar will explore the evolving landscape of inbound investment reviews, with a focus on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA), and state-level restrictions on foreign land ownership.
Join lawyers from our Policy and Regulatory and Energy, Infrastructure and Resources practice areas as we share insights and lessons learned from recent CFIUS reviews and discuss:
- What triggers CFIUS interest (and review jurisdiction) in renewable energy transactions and when CFIUS should be notified
- Common pitfalls that can lead to complex reviews or mitigation demands
- What a CFIUS national security mitigation agreement may look like in practice
- Broader land ownership issues, including AFIDA and state-level foreign ownership restrictions
Whether you're a developer, investor, or advisor in the renewable space, this session will provide practical guidance to help you navigate regulatory risks and structure deals with confidence.
