About Everett
Everett is known for the breath of his knowledge and experience in the Texas electric industry across a wide variety of infrastructure licensing and ratemaking matters.
Q&A
  • What types of clients do you represent?

    I represent electric utilities, generators, and other market participants in both ERCOT and non-ERCOT areas in Texas who need to understand and comply with state energy regulatory requirements.

    I most often represent clients before the Public Utility Commission of Texas and commonly provide support to our appellate team in handling appeals of regulatory decisions before state courts.
