Adrienne L. Thompson

Career

Managing Partner of Troutman Pepper’s Portland office, Adrienne Thompson provides regulatory and transactional advice to clients involved in the generation, marketing, and transmission of electric energy. She largely practices before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), especially regarding matters arising under the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). In this capacity, Adrienne regularly advises clients on compliance and business issues implicated in transmission- and interconnection-related agreements.

In addition to assisting clients in FERC matters, Adrienne advocates for clients in various rate case and tariff-related proceedings before, and disputes involving, the Bonneville Power Administration, CAISO, and other ISOs/RTOs across the U.S., as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, to help protect client commercial interests and transmission rights. Regardless of the venue or issue at hand, Adrienne’s goal is to efficiently translate complex energy issues into understandable and actionable advice.
