More power plants have been closing or announcing their closure in recent years, largely as a result of the economics created by regional markets and competitive pricing mechanisms. These power plant closings–and the attendant plans to repower the site and replace lost capacity–raise a number of legal and practical issues.

Please join us for an all-day roundtable where utilities, developers, and investors in the energy industry meet to discuss key issues and best practices for shutting down and repowering power projects.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

  • An overview of the economic drivers
  • Repowering options
  • Labor and employment implications
  • Employee benefit considerations
  • Community engagement best practices
  • Tax consequences
  • Antitrust concerns
  • Financing considerations
  • Commercial agreements
  • Dispute resolution
  • Environmental, permitting, and cleanup standards
  • Operational issues
