Your energy and utilities lawyer is more important than ever before. Through legislation and administrative regulation, a number of steps have been taken across the country to facilitate competition in the electric power and natural gas markets. In Pennsylvania and other deregulated markets, customers can seek the lowest price or find special services (or both). These deregulated markets have implications for public utilities, suppliers, municipalities, businesses and individuals.I work on a wide-range of public utility and energy related legal and regulatory issues for a diverse mix of clients. I represent energy, transportation, telecommunications, water and wastewater clients on all matters relating to their business; including licensing, transactions, rate cases, rulemakings, litigation, and regulatory compliance. But, I also help municipalities, businesses and individuals understand the nuances, opportunities and risks of the competitive electric and natural gas markets. As consumers, they have many opportunities to support sustainability initiatives and to reduce energy costs with energy efficiency practices. But, care must be taken to avoid the risk of paying too much and being snared into a one-sided contractual arrangement.
