For decades, Chip Cannon has advised clients with a holistic view of the energy transition space and the ability to apply his comprehensive knowledge of the U.S. power sector from regulatory, markets, policy, commercial, and transactional perspectives. His career progressed parallel to the evolution of the U.S. power sector, allowing Chip to develop a broad-based practical “know-how” on all issues arising under the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA), and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). His vast experience also includes advising clients on behind-the-meter (BTM) structures, including data centers co-located with generation resources.

Chip champions his clients by playing a central role in drafting and negotiating strategic agreements for electric generation resource developers, owners, and operators. With a clientele of independent power producers, large-scale energy consumers, and other regulated electric utilities, he has established himself as a leader in energy transition.
