Federal Court Strikes Down President Trump’s Attacks Against Endangered Species Act
- •A federal court has restored the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to its pre-Trump regulatory framework, reversing previous rollbacks and reinstating stronger environmental protections.
- •Developers and IPPs should anticipate increased regulatory scrutiny, potentially longer permitting timelines, and higher compliance costs for new energy projects.
- •Projects sited in or near sensitive ecological areas are particularly vulnerable to delays, redesigns, or increased mitigation requirements due to reinstated ESA protections.
