BHMG has
performed many assignments for a wide range of organizations
needing assistance in the area of regulatory affairs. The firm
has represented utilities, agencies of Federal, State, and
Local governments, Commercial and Industrial clients, Universities,
and Trade Associations in many states in such areas as power
planning, cost-of-service analysis, rate analysis and design,

relating to utility systems.
