Energy

We have represented the largest electricity generators in New England before state and federal agencies, as well as before the regional grid and wholesale market operator, ISO New England. In just one legislative session, we successfully passed legislation mandating utilities' purchase of 1600 megawatts of offshore wind power over the next decade, bringing $7 billion of economic development and launching the offshore wind industry for the United States.
