Kathryn Douglass

Kit represents clients before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on a variety of electric energy matters, including rate filings and complaints under Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), and matters related to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). She provides strategic advice to companies seeking to participate in the dynamic and complex organized wholesale power markets, and uses her in-depth experience with qualifying facilities (QFs) rules and regulations, capacity markets, generator interconnection, open access transmission tariffs, and other electric market issues to counsel clients on traditional and new energy projects.

Prior to joining Crowell, Kit served as an attorney in FERC’s Office of the General Counsel for nine years, including most recently in a supervisory role. At FERC, she was involved in many aspects of electricity markets, and was instrumental in carrying out a number of high-profile matters relating to capacity market reforms, cost-of-service ratemaking, transmission, interconnection, and cost allocation. Before that, Kit worked for non-profit organizations representing clients in federal court cases relating to the environment and natural resources matters, as well as developing policy and advocating on a range of environmental issues.
