Kilpatrick is pleased to highlight the participation of attorneys John Livingston, Ben Smith, and Brodie Erwin at the 2025 Appalachian Clean Energy CLE workshop, hosted by the Appalachian Energy Center at Appalachian State University. The workshop will provide attorneys, policy professionals and energy advocates with knowledge on timely clean energy issues facing North Carolina communities, innovative energy policy, and planning progress occurring in the state.
Ben Smith will be sharing his expertise during two critical sessions. First, he will speak in the “North Carolina Clean & Renewable Energy Regulatory & Policy Developments Super Session,” offering insights on Senate Bill 266, offshore wind, and Duke Energy’s CPIRP. Later in the day, Ben will join Karen Kemerait, Utility Commissioner, for a fireside chat to discuss regulatory challenges and developments impacting the energy sector in North Carolina.
Brodie Erwin will present in Section 2, “Confidentiality: Protecting Your Most Prized Information,” where he will address best practices and legal strategies for safeguarding sensitive information in the evolving clean energy landscape.
John Livingston will participate in Section 3, “Financing Demand Side Management,” alongside other industry leaders, to explore innovative financial models and legal considerations for demand side management in clean energy projects.
The firm’s involvement underscores Kilpatrick’s commitment to advancing legal and policy knowledge in the rapidly evolving field of clean energy, and to supporting clients navigating complex regulatory environments in North Carolina and beyond.
