Electricity & Power Law Practice

Power Industry Advisory Experience

We provide comprehensive project development, regulatory, financing, commercial (e.g., construction and fuel supply), dispute resolution and regulatory advisory services to power industry participants. Our attorneys have worked on projects valued in the billions of dollars and have extensive experience in structuring complex project financings. Many of these financings attract limited or non-recourse capital and, in the United States, utilize sophisticated tax-advantaged structures to make use of targeted tax credits, accelerated depreciation and investment tax credits. In addition to advising on electric energy projects, we also represent clients with respect to contracts for the marketing, sale and transmission of electricity, including procurements for bulk power sales/purchases.
