Christina Cress, leader of the firm’s Energy + Utilities Practice, will be speaking at the North Carolina Manufacturers Alliance (NCMA) Annual Meeting on Thursday, December 4, at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Christina will present on a topic of growing significance for manufacturers across the state: electric utility rates for large business customers in North Carolina.
With deep experience in utility regulation, energy policy, and complex rate matters, Christina routinely guides clients through electric and natural gas rate cases, resource planning dockets, and compliance obligations under North Carolina’s evolving energy framework. Her work includes advising on electric and water utility issues and helping clients navigate major policy shifts.
