KL Gates Hosted Event
Date: 23 September 2025
Watch Now

As the demand for renewable energy surges—driven in part by AI-powered infrastructure and national energy goals—foreign investment in US-based solar, battery storage, and wind projects is under increasing scrutiny. This webinar explores 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.
 
Lawyers from our Policy and Regulatory and Energy, Infrastructure and Resources practice areas shared 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.
