The availability of reliable energy
is essential to the well-being of our Pacific Island
economies. Our attorneys have represented businesses
and governmental agencies in the development and operation
of energy projects throughout the State of Hawaii, Mexico
and the Pacific Region from its offices in Los
Angeles, Guam, Saipan,
Honolulu, Maui,
Kona, Hilo
and Mexico City.
Hawaii's volcanoes, trade winds, sunny
climate, surrounding oceans and bustling economy has
made these islands an ideal laboratory for energy research,
development and commercialization. Carlsmith Ball LLP's
attorneys have helped its clients become recognized
leaders in the commercial development of renewable and
alternate energy projects involving biomass, wind, geothermal,
ocean thermal, cogeneration, hydroelectric, and waste
energy. We can offer your company our firm's recognized
financial and regulatory expertise in the Pacific Region
and Mexico for your energy-related project. Our attorneys
have also advised the State of Hawaii on issues relating
to the development and financing of energy production
and transmission within this island state.
Carlsmith Ball LLP attorneys have represented
independent power producers in the development of large-scale
fossil fuel projects in a quickly-changing regulatory
environment that reflects the recent transformation
of the natural gas and electrical power industry in
the United States and Mexico. Our attorneys can help
your energy businesses make the right choices and find
the most efficient solutions in a field marked by increasing
competition and deregulation.
In Mexico, Carlsmith Ball LLP has represented
bidders in the privatization of natural gas distribution
systems. The firm has also participated in the acquisition
of a natural gas transportation contract and is negotiating
electrical power purchase agreements. It is expected
that new opportunities for independent power producers
in Mexico will be created once the proposed privatization
of the electrical power industry is approved by the
Mexican Congress, a development which the firm follows
closely. Carlsmith Ball LLP attorneys also have experience
in the negotiation of a variety of financing and supply
agreements with Petroleos Mexicanos, the state-owned
oil and gas production and exploration company.
