Energy regulatory and compliance lawyers help energy companies, utilities, project developers, and businesses in the energy sector navigate the complex federal and state regulatory framework governing energy production, transmission, distribution, and sales. These attorneys counsel clients on compliance with regulations enforced by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), state public utility commissions, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other agencies overseeing the energy industry. They advise on matters including power purchase agreements, transmission and interconnection rights, rate design and cost recovery, market participation rules, renewable energy development, and grid reliability standards. Energy regulatory lawyers also guide clients through licensing and permitting processes, certificate applications, and regulatory proceedings that are essential to developing and operating energy infrastructure.
These legal professionals provide essential guidance on emerging energy industry issues including renewable energy integration, energy storage deployment, distributed generation, demand response programs, and electric vehicle infrastructure. They help clients navigate wholesale and retail energy markets, advise on compliance with mandatory reliability standards under the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and counsel on environmental compliance matters that intersect with energy operations. When regulatory investigations, audits, or enforcement actions arise, these lawyers coordinate responses, represent clients in administrative proceedings, and develop strategies to resolve compliance issues. They also handle disputes involving market manipulation allegations, rate challenges, contract disagreements, and regulatory appeals before FERC, state commissions, and federal courts.
