Energy Law
Poised to Assist Traditional and Alternative Energy Clients
At Tressler Saunders, we recognize the growing significance of the energy sector in the regional economy of Northeastern Pennsylvania. We understand that our energy industry clients need legal counsel who understands their business, the regulatory and financing challenges they face, and how to help them reach their objectives. As the demand for sources of alternative energy and the pressures for conservation of existing supplies increase, so too does the need for legal professionals who can serve the start-up and venture capital-backed business through the various stages of growth.
New energy laws and policies are being passed by federal and state legislatures to encourage the development of alternative energy projects including biofuels, geothermal, solar, wind and clean coal. Such projects are already being promoted in Northeastern Pennsylvania. With a new administration in Washington, D.C., championing energy efficiency and energy independence, there is clearly a need for legal counsel who can provide synergy and solutions for clients in this dynamic and evolving area of law.
Experience with Existing and Emerging Energy Projects
Wind energy has been one of the most recent industries to develop a strong presence in our region. Tressler Saunders has assisted clients in reviewing and negotiating wind energy leases - predominantly in the Northeastern Pennsylvania counties where a number of energy companies have begun to acquire utility easements and construct extensive wind farm facilities.
In addition, our region has hosted the interstate transmission of natural gas and its mature and growing infrastructure system. These assets have provided a windfall to the burgeoning natural gas development industry throughout Pennsylvania. Our lawyers have worked with one of the largest interstate pipeline companies in the United States on a compressor station construction and pipeline upgrade project to boost its ability to transport natural gas through Pennsylvania and into New York and New England.
