Bruce Grabow represents independent power developers and other energy companies in matters involving generation development and interconnection, load interconnection and studies, transmission service and wholesale power markets.

With more than 30 years of experience before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Bruce advises clients across the United States on securing the regulatory approvals needed to connect generation projects to the electric grid and deliver power into U.S. wholesale electricity markets.

With deep knowledge of existing and evolving market rules and regulatory policy, Bruce helps clients navigate emerging and complex federal and state commercial and infrastructure issues at the intersection of generation development, transmission needs and load interconnection driven by data center demand.

Developers rely on his guidance when projects encounter obstacles in the generation and load interconnection process. Bruce works with clients and grid operators to address disputes involving interconnection studies, project costs and transmission availability, helping projects move forward while ensuring compliance with applicable tariffs and reliability requirements.

Bruce regularly advises clients on and participates in regional transmission organization processes across the United States, including MISO, SPP, PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE and CAISO, pursues and develops tariff and policy changes and, when necessary, brings complaints and other proceedings before FERC and the courts to address practices affecting generation interconnection, transmission service and market participation.
