Power & Utilities

With an increasingly interconnected network of energy resources, emerging technologies, and regulatory laws, the power and utilities industry is one of the most competitive and highly scrutinized sectors in the world. In this complex arena, the McLennan Ross team guides our clients with sound and practical advice to minimize risks and gain a competitive edge.

Whether we are dealing with regulatory issues or litigation, helping to grow a business, or negotiating a deal, our lawyers have a broad range of focus in power and utility law in Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

We make the complex clear and the complicated understandable.

For decades, we have been trusted advisors in this highly technical and dynamic area of the law. Our valued clients include public utilities, producers, developers, investors, lenders and service companies, as well as consumers, municipalities, and landowners.

Public utility regulation features many complex issues involving legal, economic, financial, and operating aspects, often requiring expert evidence and extended oral public hearings. We possess the experience, understanding, and skill necessary to effectively represent clients who are directly involved in the utility regulation processes for gas, electric, and water utilities.

Members of our environmental and regulatory team frequently appear before the Alberta Utilities Commission, other administrative tribunals, and appeal courts. Our environmental and regulatory lawyers handle rate applications and rate hearings for gas, electric, and water utilities.

We take our role as trusted legal advisors seriously and work hard to provide practical judgment and clear guidance in this complex and highly controlled sector. Regardless of the scale of an issue, we offer smart, creative solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Turn to us for practical advice at any stage. We are always ready to help.
