About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will provide attorneys with a practical foundation for understanding the energy industry, the energy project lifecycle, and the regulatory and commercial framework for energy projects.

Description

The panel will examine the roles of FERC, state public utility commissions, regional and independent transmission organizations (RTOs and ISOs), utilities, developers, investors, lenders, project owners, and federal, state, and local permitting authorities. The discussion will address how projects move from origination and site control through permitting, interconnection, financing, construction, operation, and market participation.

The panel will also review the customary critical agreements underlying an energy project development. These include power purchase and offtake agreements, interconnection agreements, site control documents, engineering/procurement/construction (EPC) contracts, and operations/maintenance arrangements.

Listen as our panel provides attorneys entering or expanding their practice in the energy sector with a practical overview of the legal, regulatory, financing, and contractual issues within the energy project lifecycle.
