Energy & Environment

Energy and environmental issues are some of the most challenging and complex issues facing businesses and government today.  California’s regulatory and legislative mandates in the areas of air, water and land issues make working in the state more challenging than anywhere else in the country.  With one of the nation’s largest energy and environmental public affairs practices, Cerrell Associates assists clients with community outreach, government relations, media relations and corporate communications needs for projects and companies focused in the energy and environmental sector.

Our efforts help obtain approval for new projects, remediate contaminated sites and position clients as environmental leaders for the 21st Century.  As California’s senior public affairs firm, we have worked on the most pressing environmental issues for more than 40 years.
