Scott Johnson guides clients navigating the evolving energy regulation landscape across the United States. Representing public utilities and other entities in the electric power industry, Scott advises clients on general regulatory, administrative litigation, and transactional matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and has represented clients in related cases before various U.S. Courts of Appeal.

He counsels clients on various energy regulatory issues, including applications for FERC authorization of transactions under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and for approval of tariffs, rate schedules, and service agreements under Section 205. He provides comments on and protests to rate filings before FERC, handles filings required under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, and advises clients on regulatory opinions for renewable energy project transactions, including debt and tax equity financings. He also obtains market-based rate authorization and exempt wholesale generator and/or qualifying facility status for generators and helps companies with market-based rates comply with their reporting requirements at FERC.

Scott’s energy regulatory experience also involves performing due diligence for public utility mergers and other transactions, including the acquisition of electric power assets like renewable and conventional power plants and transmission lines.

Before Foley, Scott was a senior counsel in the Washington, D.C., office of a multinational law firm. He previously worked as a legal intern in the Energy Markets Section of FERC’s Office of the General Counsel, where he drafted orders FERC later issued.
