Energy/Regulatory
State and federal agencies have propounded extensive bodies of law governing the construction, operation, maintenance and repair of virtually every form of energy related infrastructure. In addition, states have renewed their attention on the public utility sector, such as the State of Ohio’s recent re-regulation of the electric utility industry. As these policies continue to develop, our Energy Practice Group provides regulatory compliance assistance and strategic advice. We assist clients in related matters including integrated resource planning, siting requirements, environmental permits and licensing, facility construction, tariff issues and interconnection and supply agreements.
