    The firm's representation of electric utilities also includes an active administrative practice before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in a wide array of matters ranging from the agency's oversight of interstate natural gas transportation to its ongoing overhaul of the nation's electric system. These include the FERC's recent "restructuring" of the nation's natural gas pipelines, from its early rulemaking stage, through the promulgation of FERC's seminal "Order 636," to federal court review by the D.C. Circuit. The firm's natural gas practice now encompasses a broad range of issues affecting the industry as the FERC's new competitive market continues to evolve.

    Slover & Loftus also represents utilities (both FERC jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional) in electric matters before FERC, particularly regarding the transition to unbundled open access in the transmission of electric power brought about by "Order 888." These activities include participation in rulemaking and individual utility proceedings involving requirements and proposals for open access tariffs, management of transmission systems by independent system operators, and compliance with FERC reporting and filing requirements for public utilities. The firm has extensive experience with all aspects of power purchase and sales agreements.
