Energy: Power (Regulatory)

Lawson Lundell’s Power practice extends throughout Western and Northern Canada and into the Western United States. We have been involved in major electricity and alternative energy projects developed by private developers, Crown Corporations, Territorial Governments, and Local Governments. We have been involved in projects from the financing and project structuring phase, permitting and approvals, and ultimately to operations. Having been at the heart of the restructuring of BC and Alberta's electric industries, we understand the challenges and opportunities our clients face during periods of continued regulatory uncertainty.

Our experience includes a wide range of generation technologies including co-generation, gas, coal, nuclear, as well as renewable energy sources such as hydropower, biomass, wind, and solar. We have been involved in many major generation and transmission projects, distribution projects, as well as power marketing, market investigations, a myriad of power-related regulatory issues, and numerous cross-border deals and regulatory proceedings.
