Clean burning, abundant natural gas is creating a major structural shift in the energy landscape. The dramatic rise in natural gas availability is escalating the retirement of coal-fired generation, backing out the need for renewable power, and creating the potential for vast new markets for natural gas as a vehicle transportation fuel. Along with renewables, natural gas is paving the way for America’s energy independence, and allowing the U.S. to become a net energy exporter.
At Blue Planet Energy Law, we advise utilities, generators and end-users on all regulatory and commercial aspects of the midstream and downstream natural gas supply, transportation, storage, and import/export markets. We assist clients in securing gas supply and transportation capacity at favorable rates and terms. We advise on and litigate complex pipeline rate proceedings under Section 4 and Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act. We assist electric generators with securing structured gas supply.
