Power Purchase Agreements in Bankruptcy

The "Power Purchase Agreements in Bankruptcy: Concurrent Interests Under the Bankruptcy Code and Federal Power Act" is a 90-minute Continuing Legal Education (CLE) video webinar organized by Strafford. This program is designed to provide legal professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding power purchase agreements (PPAs) when an energy industry debtor files for bankruptcy.

The webinar delves into the interplay between the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations, focusing on whether a debtor can reject its PPAs. Key topics include the concurrent jurisdiction of bankruptcy courts and FERC, recent developments in case law, and practical considerations for counsel representing stakeholders in such proceedings.

Participants will benefit from insights shared by experienced practitioners, including Robert J. Gayda, Partner at Seward & Kissel, and Lorraine S. McGowen, Partner at Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe. The program also offers opportunities for interactive Q&A sessions, allowing attendees to engage directly with the faculty.

This webinar is particularly beneficial for attorneys specializing in bankruptcy, energy law, and contract management, as it provides critical knowledge to navigate the challenges associated with PPAs in bankruptcy scenarios.
