Cheryl Karpowicz
SVP - Development, Ecology and Environment
A senior vice president and certified planner, Ms. Karpowicz leads E & E’s energy services practice. She has directed health, safety, and environmental permitting projects for electric transmission, fiber optic cable, renewable energy, pipeline, and other energy projects worth billions of dollars for clients in the United States, South America, Asia, and the Middle East. For such projects, managing the schedule is usually the best way to control project risk. In the western U.S., she successfully spearheaded the streamlining of permitting processes for transmission projects while working with key regulatory agencies such as the California Public Utilities Commission and US Bureau of Land Management. She is a strong advocate for proactive consultation with key stakeholders to inform siting decisions early in the process, which she believes is the key to facilitating project success. Although she has led permitting efforts for a wide variety of projects, she considers transmission projects to be among the most challenging.
