Track Legal Developments in Renewables and Climate Change with Practical Guidance

(Adapted from a tip by Mike Mallory, LexisNexis Customer Success Manager)

As renewable energy, electrification, and climate-related regulation continue to reshape the global economy, attorneys across practice areas may need to stay current on fast-moving legal developments. From renewable project siting and permitting to climate change regulations, infrastructure constraints, and emerging energy policies, these issues can affect litigation, transactional work, real estate, environmental compliance, and client advisory services. America's Economic Growth Depends on New Sources of Energy—and Massive Amounts of New Electricity

Practical Guidance Trackers Can Help You Monitor Developments

Practical Guidance Trackers are a useful, nonbillable resource for monitoring statutory, regulatory, case law, and other legal developments on specific topics. For law firm librarians and information professionals, these trackers can be especially helpful when supporting attorney alerts, current awareness requests, practice group updates, or quick-turn research needs.

Trackers related to solar, wind, and climate change include:

Solar Law Court Rulings Tracker and Wind Law Court Rulings Tracker
These trackers summarize recent case law affecting solar and wind law developments nationwide. Some decisions reflect final rulings on licensing or siting, while others are procedural decisions in long-running litigation that may continue for years.

Energy and Climate Change Policies and Regulations Tracker
This tracker reviews developments in energy and climate change policies and regulations, including brief descriptions of pronouncements, rules, legislative activity, and regulatory actions, with links to source documents.

Climate Change Resource Kit
The Climate Change Resource Kit provides links to key Practical Guidance materials on climate change across practice areas, making it a convenient starting point for identifying relevant resources quickly.

Create Alerts for Ongoing Monitoring

When you find a Practical Guidance document, such as a Tracker, that you want to monitor, you can create an Alert to receive an email whenever the document is updated. To set an Alert, click the bell icon at the top of the page.

You can also subscribe to a weekly Practical Guidance newsletter in more than 20 practice areas. Recent newsletter topics include the April 14, 2026 update discussing new requirements for battery backups in new commercial buildings in the U.K.
