A new energy crisis has gripped the Nation. Soaring commodity prices have utilities bracing for unprecedented rate increases in 2008. The deregulation of natural gas and wholesale electric power threatens the steady supply of reasonably priced energy that is essential to the quality of life and the economic fabric of communities throughout this country. Many communities are finding they must negotiate to maintain even the most basic services.

Speculation and price manipulation are being shouted in the halls of Congress. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has stepped up enforcement efforts and instituted new compliance requirements.

Miller, Balis & O'Neil, P.C. attorneys bring a wealth of detailed industry and regulatory experience to negotiations concerning rates and services. That experience helps to assure that consumer interests -- whether big or small -- are not ignored in Washington or at the bargaining table.
