About Boris

Boris Shkuta focuses on Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulation and compliance for electric power companies and natural gas pipelines. He represents energy clients in a diverse array of FERC and federal court proceedings including, for example, representation of pipelines in rate case litigation before administrative law judges; natural gas pipelines in complex bankruptcy proceedings; and electric transmission developers in high stakes FERC and federal appeals court proceedings. Boris also frequently advises generation developers navigating complex generation interconnection processes. In addition, he has significant experience working on Administrative Procedure Act issues, especially in connection with rule-making proceedings such as FERC’s recent changes to its natural gas certificate policy statement.
