Overview

Margaret Czepiel represents energy clients in regulatory, administrative litigation, enforcement, and compliance matters, predominantly in front of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state commissions. She counsels a wide array of clients on electric and gas-related matters, from municipalities to large corporations to the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL). Clients rely on Margaret for her timely and thoughtful advice, responsiveness, attention to detail, and capable project management.

In particular, Margaret assists electric generation and transmission, energy trading companies, and natural gas clients in rate cases, enforcement matters, filings under the Federal Power Act and Natural Gas Act, compliance filings, and comments in front of FERC. She has developed knowledge of transmission and interconnection procedures across the country, and frequently provides guidance to developers of renewable and storage technologies on complex interconnection and siting-related issues. In addition, Margaret conducts regulatory due diligence for clients in connection with the acquisition of large and varied portfolios of energy assets.

In addition to her energy practice, Margaret maintains an active pro bono practice, focusing on criminal justice and parole reform issues in the District of Columbia.
