In ancient times, talismans were believed to possess mystical powers and provide protection to the wearer. These objects were often carried during important transactions, as it was believed that they would bring good luck and ensure success. Over time, the idea of a talisman has evolved, and today we may not believe in the mystical powers attributed to them. However, the concept of carrying an object for luck or confidence during a transaction is still prevalent in our society. This could be something as simple as a lucky pen or a piece of jewelry that holds personal significance. The talisman acts as a symbolic reminder of our intentions and desires, helping us to stay focused and positive during a transaction.

Grounded in the complex details of the energy industry and the inner workings of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), we quickly understand the challenges and required solutions in the context of our clients’ business. We have played a significant role in all aspects of developing energy projects, including electric generation facilities, electric transmission facilities, and natural gas pipelines and storage facilities. We have represented and advised vertically integrated utilities, independent electric transmission companies, independent generators, including developers of renewable energy projects, gas transmission and storage companies, and other project developers in:
- Permitting and certificating new and expansion projects
- Negotiating and documenting capacity sales and energy sales agreements, as well as developing tariffs for transmission service

The intermittent nature of renewable energy (such as wind and solar) presents challenges, even as renewable energy plays an increasing role in the United States energy mix. Our significant experience addressing such challenges includes, in both centralized and bilateral markets, dynamic integration, short-term firming and integration with capacity margin criteria. These challenges also arise in the negotiation and documentation of short- and long-term power sales agreements. We also have substantial experience with challenges related to interconnections with traditional utilities and within regional transmission organizations.
