Alan D. Lovett

My clients are large, vertically integrated, electric utility companies who own a diverse mix of generation resources and own and operate integrated regional transmission systems. A key focus area of my practice involves serving owners and operators of nuclear generation facilities. I also represent large natural gas purchasers and shippers, investment funds focused on the utility sector, and parties entering into wholesale power transactions and transmission service agreements.

A key segment of my practice is focused on regulatory and commercial issues surrounding new nuclear development, the operation of existing nuclear plants, and sites undergoing decommissioning. I represent nuclear owners and operators in licensing and other regulatory matters before the NRC and state public service commissions. I also represent nuclear facility owners in negotiation and administration agreements for new nuclear development, operating fleet outage and maintenance work, mergers and acquisitions, and decommissioning and waste stream risk management.

I primarily represent clients in matters before the NRC, FERC, Georgia Public Service Commission, and Alabama Public Service Commission.

As a mechanical engineer and lawyer, my practice has gravitated towards complex interdisciplinary problem solving involving overlapping engineering, regulatory, and economic challenges. My clients, who tend to be engineers too, benefit from my ability to engage with them in evaluating complex technical matters while also helping them navigate the legal and commercial frameworks that they operate within.
