Energy

The energy field is transforming rapidly throughout the nation, no more so than in New York and New England. Harris Beach Murtha’s energy attorneys help clients throughout the country keep up with what’s new, while also providing common-sense answers to client issues. We realize the energy industry presents challenges, but we, like you, see fantastic opportunities.

Our experienced Energy Industry Team — which includes a member who was both a former Chair of the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Chief Executive Officer of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) — regularly works in all aspects of energy law with a wide variety of clients, including generation and transmission owners, utilities, energy service companies, energy facility developers, real estate developers, retail energy providers, large commercial and industrial customers and governmental entities. We help these private and public entities successfully achieve their energy initiatives.

In addition to a rich history serving clients in the fossil-fuel fired electric generation field, our energy lawyers advise clients on developing innovative projects that produce energy from alternative and renewable resources, such as offshore wind, solar, hydroelectric, battery energy storage, fuel cells, biomass and solid waste. That work includes cogeneration, small power production and merchant power plant development. We offer our considerable experience in federal and state energy policy and law, in addition to environmental law.

Our firm has been involved, in various roles, in many of the major energy projects throughout New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. We help with every phase of large and small-scale energy projects: renewable generation and transmission lines; offshore wind siting and permitting; regulatory compliance; standardized interconnection requirements and services; energy siting and permitting approvals, including environmental, land use and real estate due diligence; electric, gas and renewable contract drafting; negotiation; tax issues; public/community outreach; funding, including public finance; and more. This includes hydroelectric generating facilities, base load and peaking fossil fuel fired facilities, and nuclear energy installations.

Harris Beach Murtha has experience with municipal-owned gas and electric utilities, behind-the-meter generation, Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) agreements, Asset Purchase agreements (APA), Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) agreements, Membership Interest Purchase and Sale agreements (MIPA), and all related documents.

Our knowledge and experience is particularly important in the era of New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), which requires New York to obtain 70% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2030, 100% emissions-free electricity by 2040, 9,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind capacity by 2035, 6,000 MW of solar energy by 2025, and 3,000 MW of energy storage capacity by 2030.

Our attorneys represent regulated utilities, large commercial and industrial customers, and energy service companies (ESCOs) before the PSC on proposed increases in a utility’s electric, gas and water rates. They also routinely interact with federal and state agencies in Albany, Hartford, Boston and states throughout the country.

Clients rely on us to guide them in understanding regulatory and legal issues surrounding the energy industry and to educate them on how to comply with governmental requirements in the energy and related environmental and economic development fields. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to craft comprehensive legal solutions as unique as the private and public entities we represent, all with a goal of maximized returns on your energy investments.

Harris Beach Murtha attorneys help with high-level line development and siting strategy, and we roll up our sleeves to do the nuts-and-bolts work. We help develop strategic paths for clients to engage community, business and professional leaders on the benefits of transmission line development and siting. We also help with state and federal regulatory approvals, environmental permitting and compliance, real estate issues, zoning and payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreements.

Harris Beach Murtha attorneys represent developers of alternating current, high voltage direct current transmission, and other energy generation transmission, seeking state and local approvals under regulations such as the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) or certification from the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) under Article VII of the New York State Public Service Law (PSL).

Our attorneys represent regulated utilities, large commercial and industrial customers and energy service companies (ESCOs) when dealing with state agencies on proposed increases in a utility’s electric, gas and water rates.

We provide extensive legal services for renewable energy companies, real estate owners, municipalities, investors and lenders in developing renewable energy projects, including distributed and utility-scale solar photovoltaic systems, wind farms, biofuel systems, hydropower systems, fuel cells and combined heat and power and commercial geothermal systems and microgrids in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and beyond.

The firm regularly advises municipalities and state authorities on all necessary aspects of renewable energy and microgrid development. This includes developing requests for proposals and reviewing project proposals to drafting and negotiating complex power purchase agreements, performance guarantee agreements, site leases, interconnection agreements, finance agreements, construction agreements, easement agreements, and operation and maintenance agreements. Our attorneys actively counsel municipalities on project implications and benefits of state incentive programs, including the Zero Emission Renewable Energy Credit (ZREC) and Low Emission Renewable Energy Credit (LREC) Program, Municipal Virtual Net Metering (VNM) Program, Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Program, and the Microgrid Grant Program.

In New York, we assist renewable energy developers in siting and permitting of renewable generating facilities under State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) or Article X of the New York State Public Service Law (PSL). We provide strategic counsel to clients seeking to obtain benefits from state policy initiatives such as the former Renewable Portfolio Standard and the new Clean Energy Standard.

In New York, energy projects below 25 megawatts require review and approval by local municipalities under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), which generally requires completion of an environmental impact assessment. Our energy lawyers provide guidance and counsel through the SEQRA process, including strategy related to project development, assisting with the evaluation of environmental impacts, and navigating the municipal zoning and land use regulations and review processes.

Offshore wind is among America’s next generation of energy sources and Harris Beach Murtha attorneys represent developers, financers, investors and others in the field. We assist with environmental impact assessments, stakeholder engagement, financial structuring and funding, permitting and licensing, contract negotiating and drafting, litigation, risk management and regulatory compliance.

Our energy lawyers have deep experience helping energy developers understand and navigate complex state and local regulations, as well as community dynamics, to secure local, state and federal permit approvals so projects stay on schedule and budget.

Harris Beach Murtha attorneys offer a broad range of services, guiding clients through land development processes and contract negotiation and advising them on matters ranging from local land use law to historic preservation and eminent domain. Our attorneys also conduct seminars and workshops for clients and land use commissioners through several local, regional and state agencies.

We regularly assist energy developers with site acquisition, title, purchase agreements, joint development agreements, due diligence investigations, obtaining zoning and land use approval and permits, ordinance drafting and adoption, density and intensity of use, construction contracting and store and ground leasing.

We negotiate and obtain reciprocal easement agreements and all types of municipal agreements, including developer agreements with municipalities for the site and access to sewer and water, highway access and occupancy, construction and permanent financing and property dispositions.

Our integrated, end-to-end representation offers effective solutions in all areas of land use and zoning, including acquisition, design, regulatory compliance, approvals, construction and litigation.

Residential electrical submetering allows electricity to be billed directly to building owners at the less expensive general-large or multiple dwellings-redistribution rate, while billing the resident is based on actual use at the utility’s direct-meter rate, thus encouraging energy conservation and increasing the building’s profitability.

We help building owners set up submetering and bill electric charges to residents based on their actual consumption. We understand the procedure for obtaining regulatory approval. In fact, our Energy legal team has successfully obtained submetering approval for hundreds of buildings throughout New York state.

We also assist property owners who are currently submetering electricity to stay in compliance with the Public Service Law, including the Home Energy Fair Practices Act (HEFPA), and the PSC’s submetering regulations (16 NYCRR Part 96), which now contain provisions for monetary penalties for noncompliance. We also help you handle any resident complaints filed with state regulating authorities.

Our attorneys leverage regulatory experience to provide strategic counsel to some of the Northeast Corridor’s largest utilities, generation owners, large commercial and industrial customers, real estate developers, and market participants regarding government regulations and regulatory compliance.

Our energy regulatory attorneys assist clients with regulatory approval state agencies, including such matters as the transfer of regulated assets and approval of debt issuances. For example, we assisted the nation’s largest owner of nuclear generation to acquire a nuclear generation facility in upstate New York, as well as establish the nation’s first zero-emission credit program, ensuring the facility and other remaining nuclear generating units receive necessary compensation for emission-free generation.

In addition, Harris Beach Murtha serves as general counsel to two of the four largest water utilities in Connecticut. We also represent several smaller water utilities.

Our water clients rely on us for advice in corporate financing, mergers and acquisitions, long-term water supply contracts, securities law and general business transactions. For our investor-owned water companies, we provide legal support for rate making and change of control proceedings at the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.

We also counsel on water diversion permits in proceedings before the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and on water quality issues in proceedings before the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

Harris Beach Murtha’s energy interconnection attorneys routinely advise on utility-scale clean energy projects and other operating renewable energy projects throughout New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and the nation. They’re knowledgeable and experienced in assisting clients with the complex process to connect energy generating facilities – including solar, offshore wind, and other renewable energy resources – to the transmission grid that delivers electricity to homes and businesses.

Speed matters when it comes to the interconnection process and completion of successful renewable energy projects. Delayed projects incur unnecessary costs or failing to reach commercial operation. Lengthy interconnection queues have increased the time for completion of the necessary interconnection analyses and studies. Some projects take years for approval, and necessary upgrades to transmission lines or substations may take even longer. Because of costly upgrades or lengthy delays in the interconnection or siting and permitting processes, developers often abandon once-promising renewable energy projects.

Many of the delays can be eliminated or shortened, and our experienced energy attorneys help developers manage and expedite the interconnection process, which is governed by a series of tariffs, manuals and legal/regulatory requirements. We routinely work in Albany, Boston and Hartford with regulatory agencies. In addition, we have experience with federal agencies, local municipal zoning and planning boards, and political bodies and courts at all levels.

Our attorneys have served in state and national leadership roles on energy issues, including an attorney who served as chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC), president of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and member of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) Electricity Committee. This is valuable experience when understanding and navigating the complex approval and regulation requirements.

Increasingly, renewable energy resources, such as wind, water and solar, are the chosen power sources of governments and developers. While the societal benefits are numerous, from less pollution to slowing global warming to lower long-term costs than the traditional alternatives, challenges exist. Our nation’s antiquated infrastructure is strained by the introduction of new power generation, transmission and distribution technologies. Also, wind, solar and hydro projects are at the mercy of the elements, making it difficult to generate what is needed when and where it is needed most. This can be particularly worrisome to energy-intensive businesses that need reliability to operate.

That’s why battery storage systems are so important; stored energy can be released when demand is high. Their importance to our nation’s renewable energy success was magnified when the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offered tax credits to encourage the development of renewable energy storage systems. But even with tax incentives, developers still face challenges with siting, financing, zoning and regulatory compliance.

Harris Beach Murtha’s Energy Industry Team possesses extensive experience – in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and nationally -- and deep understanding of all aspects of the industry, including due diligence, siting, financing, incentives, storage, interconnection and more. Our experienced battery storage attorneys help deliver complex and innovative solutions to the challenges confronting battery storage operators.

Our energy attorneys assist energy service companies (ESCOs) in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals to allow them to sell electricity and natural gas to residential, small commercial and large commercial and industrial customers throughout the nation.

We leverage our regulatory experience to handle inquiries and investigations from regulators, as well as complaints from customers. We also provide our clients with tax advice and coordinate marketing arrangements and merchant power arrangements on their behalf.

Our Energy Industry Team includes former high-ranking government officials who help clients develop strategic paths to engage business and professional leaders in developing consensus for their projects. The team is experienced in engaging local and regional economic development advocates to work for positive job growth.

Led by a former head of both the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), our team of energy attorneys has the knowledge of government revenues and expenditures to help develop key messaging around how the community will benefit with new jobs, financial gains, priority infrastructure improvements and new economic development opportunities.

It is critical to understand rules governing lobbying regulation and compliance. Our team has full grasp of state, county, city and local lobbying laws and provides counsel to energy companies and developers on interpreting and complying with those regulations.

We help with registering organizations and employees as lobbyists, preparing and filing disclosure reports, responding to audits and complying with state and city gift bans. We monitor ever-changing regulations and provide in person or webinar trainings, quick reference guides and other educational materials to help you stay in compliance.

Top-tier in-house lobbyists from a variety of companies, associations and nonprofits rely on Harris Beach Murtha attorneys and their decades of experience and keen understanding of the complexities and quirks of lobbying laws.

ESG considerations are increasingly driving public investment. Governments are setting sustainability goals and seeking not only a return on investment, but positive environmental and social outcomes. Green infrastructure projects and renewable energy initiatives are increasingly the norm.

Our energy lawyers support clients seeking to navigate and strategically integrate aspects of ESG into core business strategies, governance and risk-management. In addition to helping our clients understand, prepare for and comply with emerging laws and regulations, we also help them realize the benefits and risks related to ESG.

Understanding and managing ESG and marketplace expectations is critical for businesses. Successfully addressing ESG initiatives can impact customer and public perceptions, investor support, attracting and retaining talent and profitability. Our experience across industries, governmental sectors, board and corporate governance, and investor and stakeholder engagement, enables us to analyze our clients’ unique business needs and attributes, and help them craft a successful approach to ESG.
