Career
Jane Rueger draws on her deep knowledge of the electric and natural gas industries and markets to advise clients in transactional, litigation, policy, and regulatory matters.
Jane regularly represents clients in the negotiation of power purchase agreements (PPA) (conventional and renewable generation), gas purchase and sale agreements, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions, project financings, interconnection agreements, gas pipeline precedent agreements, and asset management agreements. She also counsels market participants on regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) market rules around the United States and the development of creative strategies to successfully operate within those markets.
Her experience includes Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) litigation matters and settlements that involve electric or gas pipeline rates and RTO/ISO market structures. She also represents clients in non-public investigations into alleged violations under FERC’s market manipulation rules, the Federal Power Act (FPA), Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA).
In addition, Jane advises clients on advancing their energy policy goals at both federal and state levels in areas such as transmission planning, grid interconnection, market structures, and adoption of policies favorable to cutting-edge technologies that are critical to decarbonizing the energy industry, such as zero-emission vehicles. She is a trusted advisor to energy market participants with regard to all aspects of FERC regulation, including obtaining and maintaining market-based rate authority, obtaining prior authorization for mergers and acquisitions under Section 203 of the FPA, FERC audits, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) compliance issues, and tariff administration and compliance.
