Atlantic Economics provides expert testimony and litigation support services.  In the past, some of the reviews that Mike Cadwalader has performed include the following:

• Analysis of restrictions imposed by the New York Independent System Operator on the amount of installed capacity that a load-serving entity on Long Island was permitted to self-supply, and of the impact on costs incurred by that LSE if those restrictions had not been imposed.
• Analysis of the impact that changes in procedures for translating installed capacity requirements into unforced capacity requirements would have had on revenues realized in installed capacity markets by certain installed capacity suppliers.
• Analysis of the ability for a generator owner to predict whether a generator it owned would not be able to produce electricity due to transmission congestion, and analysis of the impact that scheduling that generator to produce less energy would have had on the buyer and seller under a long-term contract.
• Analysis of whether a generator owner’s decision to purchase energy to fulfill its obligations under an energy purchase agreement, instead of building a simple-cycle generator to provide that energy, was reasonable given changes in market fundamentals after the contract was entered into, and analysis of the consequences of not having constructed that generator on the purchaser of energy under that agreement.
• Assessment of various options for ensuring that a utility receives the transmission service to which it is entitled in an ISO-administered market under contracts that predate the development of ISOs.
• Analysis of the proportion of the cost of a bauxite mining and alumina refining operation that represented the value of the land and mining rights associated with the operation, which was pertinent to the determination of whether the purchase price was subject to an ad valorem tax.
