Miles represents utility transmission owners, energy producers, and other electric power market participants in proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and federal courts. He also counsels wind, solar, and battery storage developers on RTO market policy and entry, and advises them on mergers and acquisitions, market-based rate, and PURPA qualifying facility matters. Miles regularly develops filings under Section 205 of the FPA, and litigates tariff, contract, and market design disputes under FPA Section 206, including in challenges before the U.S. Courts of Appeals. Clients rely on Miles’ ability to communicate in plain English on highly technical issues and to devise workable strategies that maximize the opportunities presented by the energy transition.

Miles draws on his experience at FERC, where he advised the Commission on a wide array of energy market and electric rate proceedings. Miles also has significant cost-of-service ratemaking and administrative litigation experience, having prepared and testified in support of retail rate cases for American Water Co. and EPCOR Water prior to law school.

Miles holds an advanced degree in economics, writing a thesis that tested a question from the environmental federalism literature, i.e., whether a uniform national drinking water standard was economically efficient from one state’s perspective, in addition to analyzing the law’s distributional impacts.
