Hanna Conger

Practice Areas

Energy-sector clients rely on Hanna to navigate the regulatory environment. She represents those clients before energy-regulatory commissions and in court and offers sage advice about building grid infrastructure, setting utility rates and engaging in important transactions.

With clients ranging from major investor-owned utilities to new ventures, Hanna devises innovative regulatory solutions for integrating electric vehicles, distributed energy resources, battery storage systems, microgrids and other new and emerging technologies into the grid. She helps clients evaluate how these technologies fit into the existing regulatory structure and secure necessary regulatory approvals. In addition, Hanna serves as lead outside counsel on rate-related matters for utility clients, including formula rate cases, performance-based rate making and multiyear rate plans.

Hanna is especially effective because she clearly understands the technological, financial and accounting details that drive her clients’ decision-making. Working closely with in-house legal teams, subject-matter experts and business-side decision-makers, she has the necessary 360-degree perspective and client-specific knowledge to create compelling arguments in litigation.
