We have represented an array of interests in the electric utility industry over the years. Our representation of these clients includes counseling with respect to the clients' financial, business, and regulatory interests, as well as representation before various regulatory agencies, courts, and alternative dispute resolution forums.
Some examples follow.
Big Rivers Electric Corporation is a rural electric generation and transmission cooperative based in Henderson, Kentucky that serves more than 92,000 customers. We have represented Big Rivers in a wide range of regulatory proceedings before the Kentucky Public Service Commission, including general rate cases, fuel adjustment clause cases, environmental surcharge cases and complaint cases. Over the years, we also have represented Big Rivers in negotiations with Big Rivers' creditors, members, ultimate ratepayers, and other constituencies. When acute financial concerns developed about three years ago, we worked closely with Big Rivers to design and implement a process for soliciting and responding to proposals from other companies regarding potential relationships with Big Rivers. Big Rivers eventually found it necessary to file Chapter 11 in order to accomplish certain goals and objectives.
