His recent work includes representing electric and natural gas utilities in distribution rate case proceedings, major complaint cases, regulatory investigations, rulemaking proceedings, utility service abandonment cases, utility tariff/rider approval proceedings, competitive retail energy supplier certifications and utility merger approval proceedings. Mark also regularly advises clients with data center development projects involving both behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter arrangements, natural gas and electric utility line extensions and data center service level agreements.

In addition, on behalf of both buyers/off-takers and sellers/developers, Mark has successfully negotiated agreements involving the purchase and sale of renewable energy and associated environmental attributes (e.g., renewable energy certificates, emissions free energy certificates, emissions reduction tonnes, carbon credits/offsets, etc.) generated in connection with renewable or carbon-free energy projects developed across the United States, including one of the largest city-established solar array projects in the United States.

Further, Mark has counseled competitive energy suppliers in the development of new carbon-free or emissions-free energy products to retail energy customers in various jurisdictions across the United States and regularly advises buyers and sellers in the voluntary and compliance renewable energy markets.
