Energy

Ferriter Scobbo's Energy Practice ranks among the region's premiere energy practices. Our clients look to us for our comprehensive experience and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the energy field.

Our attorneys have direct hands-on experience gained from working in legal and executive management positions in the energy industry. Our legal team includes a former rate and financial consultant of a major engineering firm; an executive with an energy marketing firm; former employees of the Massachusetts Attorney General's office; the outside general counsel of a major municipal wholesale electric utility company and a municipal utility self insurance trust fund; and the legislative counsel to a municipal utility trade association.

Each of the senior attorneys in our energy group has practiced law in this area for more than two decades.

We understand the legal problems that impact our energy clients. Better still, we know how to solve them.

Our expertise extends to every aspect of the modern energy world. We can assist clients with contracts for electricity, natural gas, transmission, water, emissions allowances, and energy commodities(physical and financial ) including oil, gas and electricity; the regional power market and ISO New England, Inc.; project development, project finance, letters of credit, engineering, siting, environmental permitting, and construction of power plants, substations, high pressure pipelines, transmission lines and other facilities; acquisition of land and land rights and eminent domain; administrative law and regulatory proceedings; hazardous waste concerns; civil litigation; bankruptcy proceedings, and alternative energy.

Ferriter Scobbo's strategic experience cuts across business structures, governance, environmental, regulatory, litigation, contractual and economic issues. In addition, our lobbying practice, represents the interests of several energy clients and associations on Beacon Hill, and provides a significant tool in solving the problems of clients.

Our clients include some of the area's largest independent power producers, a wholesale electric company, municipal light departments, emerging energy technology firms and large consumers. We are in the forefront of working with alternative and renewable energies, including distributed generation, wind and biomass projects.

For example, we worked with the Massachusetts coastal town of Hull to help develop a 1.8 megawatt wind turbine on a closed portion of landfill. Our expertise allowed the town's municipal light department to build what would become the East Coast's largest capacity wind turbine.
