What We Cover

Power Plant Applications
AUC applications for new electricity generation projects including thermal, renewable, and distributed energy facilities.
Facility Approvals

Post-approval amendments, condition modifications, and scope changes as project operations or requirements evolve.
Procedural & Hearing Support
Management of AUC procedural requirements, information requests, and hearing preparation when needed.
How We Deliver
Strategic Approach
Discovery & Scoping
We evaluate your project, identify AUC jurisdictional requirements, and build a regulatory roadmap with clear sequencing and timelines.
Preparation & Assembly
We build a filing that satisfies the AUC rule package — technical studies, impact analyses, and supporting evidence assembled to procedural standard.
Submission & Engagement
We file with the AUC, respond to information requests, and carry the matter through any intervener processes and oral hearings on your behalf.
Approval & Ongoing Support
Once the decision is issued, we track approval conditions, keep you compliant, and stay engaged as your facilities operate.
