Public Utility and Regulatory
Lawson Lundell has an extensive practice in public utility law. Members of this group are most active in the energy sector where we act for utilities, major customers and regulators. We also provide public utility advice in the transportation, telecommunications and water utility sectors.
In the energy sector we have acted for applicants and intervenors on matters before the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC), the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), the Northwest Territories Public Utilities Board (NWT PUB), and the National Energy Board (NEB). We have been lead regulatory counsel to the largest electric utility in British Columbia since 1991. We provide regulatory advice to a number of significant participants in Alberta’s electric industry, and advise a Territorial government in connection with regulated oil and natural gas transportation issues in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. We also have experience in advising Canadian clients in connection with the impact of United States regulatory agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
We have also acted for clients before, or advised clients on issues relating to, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA), the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the British Columbia Comptroller of Water Rights.
