The changing landscape of energy generation in California
and across the US provides a new set of impacts, complexities, analysis
challenges, and controversies associated with renewable resources.
At once a boon for the environment and a source of a new set of
environmental impacts, large-scale renewable generation and transmission
represent a unique siting, analysis, and permitting challenge. As
the leader in preparing environmental impact and policy analyses
for renewable energy generation and transmission in California,
Aspen has completed analyses of major wind projects, utility-scale
solar thermal and PV projects, distributed generation facilities,
and transmission lines to access renewable resources, in addition
to renewable energy policy efforts, actions across far reaching
areas, and regulations.
