Energy Supply Transactions
Securing the best deals for energy supply, management and distribution requires negotiation based on deep knowledge and experience. Steeped in the energy industry and highly proficient in technical areas, our lawyers have decades of experience negotiating agreements on behalf of both governmentally owned and private corporations.
Alston & Bird lawyers have substantial experience with the financing of long-term energy and energy generation or producing projects or purchases (e.g., long-term, tax-exempt electric and gas prepay transactions), including electricity and natural gas acquisitions on behalf of governmental joint action agencies and their municipal members. We assist clients in the negotiation of energy supply agreements, interchange agreements, incentivized or tax-exempt finance, off-system sales agreements, and electric power service contracts (both wholesale and retail), as well as commodity management agreements and acquisition and distribution agreements. Our lawyers are highly experienced in the negotiation of hedging arrangements on behalf of both governmentally owned and private corporations for their commodity supply. Our lawyers have experience representing all major participants in energy markets, including private and governmental energy project or system operators; utilities; producers and developers; transmission, transportation, and distribution providers and users; and large retail energy users, such as artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrency, and other data center projects.
