Background

About Katherine King

I am a partner in the Baton Rouge office of Kean Miller. I joined the firm in 1989 as one of its first women attorneys. I have more than 25 years of experience before the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) with a focus on the regulation of Louisiana’s electric, telecommunications and pipeline industries, and helping Louisiana industry stay competitive. I have provided project development and electric regulatory advice with respect to a number of generation projects. I have been heavily involved in advising generator clients with respect to generation project structures that satisfy client needs while complying with both Federal energy regulatory law and LPSC requirements. My team and I also advise major industrial companies with respect to power supply contracts, federal and state electric regulatory compliance, and self-generation and we represent these clients before the LPSC in electric regulatory proceedings. I serve as counsel to the Louisiana Energy Users Group (LEUG), an intervention group whose members are major industrial companies, and represents electric generators and project developers in regulatory proceedings before the LPSC, and in individual contract negotiations and project development.
