How M.C.G. Permit Consultants navigated complex regulatory requirements to deliver Verizon's renewable energy vision

 

Verizon DC

 

When Verizon approached us with plans for a large-scale EV charging station installation at 935 V Street NE in Washington, DC, we knew this wouldn't be your typical permit project. This renewable energy initiative required navigating multiple regulatory agencies and coordinating with both DOT authorities and WMATA—a challenge that would test even the most experienced permit expediter.

The Challenge: Multi-Agency Coordination

Large-scale renewable energy projects in DC present unique permitting challenges. Beyond the standard building permit reviews, this Verizon project demanded:

  • Complex coordination with DC Department of Transportation (DOT)

  • WMATA approval and compliance requirements

  • Specialized renewable energy project regulations

  • Public right-of-way considerations for 30 charging stations

The stakes were high—any delays could derail Verizon's timeline and impact their commitment to sustainable infrastructure in the nation's capital.

The M.C.G. Advantage: Experience Meets Relationships

What set this project apart wasn't just its scale, but the intricate web of approvals required. This is precisely where M.C.G. Permit Consultants' two decades of experience and established relationships with local authorities proved invaluable.

Our team leveraged:

  • Deep regulatory knowledge built over 20+ years in DC permitting

  • Established relationships with key officials across multiple agencies

  • Strategic coordination to streamline multi-agency approvals

  • Proactive problem-solving to address potential roadblocks before they became delays

The Result: Simply Getting it Done

Despite the project's complexity, M.C.G. Permit Consultants successfully cleared every regulatory hurdle, delivering permits for all 30 EV charging stations.
