Overview

Bond has considerable experience in counseling firm clients, including municipal clients, about legal obligations that can arise in connection with the purchase, sale, production and distribution of energy under New York State and federal laws and regulations. Our attorneys have recently worked on matters involving the siting of new electric generating facilities, electric and natural gas transmission facilities, negotiation of electricity, steam and natural gas purchase agreements, pipeline construction proposals and environmental compliance reviews associated with energy projects.

We have negotiated energy performance contracts for municipalities in New York State under Article 9 of the New York Energy Law. We also regularly provide advice regarding market and tariff analysis, power purchase agreements and related government approvals. Municipalities in New York State are increasingly considering whether to construct electrical generating facilities in an effort to serve load pockets and/or address electricity costs, and we provide strategic counsel regarding those issues.
