Troutman Pepper

Ranked nationally as a top-tier practice, we proactively identify and manage the challenges posed by both federal and state regulations for utilities and other major stakeholders. With the knowledge of industry insiders, we help clients develop and bring new opportunities to market.

Clients such as national and regional utilities, generators, ISOs, RTOs, and pipeline and holding companies rely on our team to resolve critical regulatory matters as they arise. We work closely with clients to develop innovative solutions to their most pressing business challenges, and have handled matters whose outcomes have, or will, alter how energy is valued, distributed, stored, and sold. For example, we assisted a utility with creating a methodology to value distributed generation, and helped another client change federal regulatory policy to allow for the first grid-scale battery storage unit to participate fully in a regional energy market. Clients engage us for guidance and strategic direction throughout their business cycle to develop, plan, and execute upon new and emerging opportunities for growth.

Several of our attorneys have in-house government experience, which enables us to better anticipate the potential outcomes and barriers to our clients’ goals. Our work before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state utility commissions includes the full spectrum of permitting, licensing, rulemaking, enforcement, litigation, and oversight.

We assist in the resolution of competition-related issues such as mergers and acquisitions, market-based rate authority for generators, organized RTO and ISO markets, OATT and transmission compliance, capacity and ancillary services, and issues related to the nation’s bilateral energy markets. At the state level, we are deeply experienced in handling fuel cost recovery proceedings, certification cases for new generation including new nuclear generation, generator interconnections, rate cases, RFPs for purchase power and renewable resources, integrated resource planning, and qualifying facility contracting processes.

Our team is recognized as a “National Top-Tier” Energy Practice and was named “Practice Group of the Year” for 2021 by Law360. In addition, we received the 2023 “Law Firm of the Year” distinction for Energy Law in U.S. News - Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” edition, and ranked nationally by Chambers USA and The Legal 500 guides for our work, including transactional, regulatory litigation matters involving both conventional and renewable resources. Public Utilities Fortnightly recognized our attorneys as “Groundbreaking Lawyers.”

Convergent Energy + Power

Convergent was founded over a decade ago, in 2011. Our mission has not wavered: build an energy landscape that is less expensive, more reliable, and increasingly sustainable—one that benefits our employees, customers, communities, and planet.

Back in 2011, deploying commercial-, industrial-, and utility-scale battery storage to support the electric grid was a relatively new concept. While other firms shared our mission to accelerate the clean energy transition through AI-powered energy storage, few understood how to actually execute projects to reduce costs and create new value for electricity customers and the grid at large.

Crux

Clean energy development is poised to boom, but we urgently need to make sustainable finance more efficient to move as quickly as needed. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will make hundreds of billions of dollars of tax credits available to companies building facilities or producing clean power and materials. And for the first time, these credits are transferable – creating a new and powerful market mechanism to fund energy transition projects. The market for transferable tax credits needs new standards, more buyers, expanded financial products, and purpose-built software. 

Crux is the ecosystem for developers, tax credit buyers, and financial institutions to transact & manage transferable tax credits. Our network & tools streamline transactions, provide access to a large market, and reduce risk & increase trust.

This is a multidisciplinary problem requiring diverse perspectives. Our team brings extensive experience at the highest levels of government, business, energy, technology, and finance. We look forward to working together to accelerate the energy transition.
