Albert V. Carr practices in the area of energy law. Mr. Carr focuses his practice on nuclear energy and nuclear licensing, representing utilities or groups of utilities in obtaining Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses to construct and operate nuclear power plants as well as in the NRC's regulation of operating plants. He works with electric utilities, consortia of utilities, construction companies and other vendors to help assure compliance with the NRC's regulatory requirements. Mr. Carr also represents clients in regulatory matters before other federal agencies, advising on issues involving Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulation, industry developments on FERC requirements and electric utility policy matters.

Mr. Carr spent twenty years with the legal departments of Duke Power Company and Duke Energy Corporation, where he was lead counsel for Duke Power in NRC and FERC regulatory matters, which, among other things, involved complex and prolonged litigation. In addition, Mr. Carr oversaw corporate matters and worked directly with senior management, federal and state regulators, management and staff of industry organizations and members of Congress and their staffs on matters involving nuclear power development and licensing and electric industry policy and practice.

Prior to joining Duke's legal department, Mr. Carr was in private practice in Washington, D.C., where he represented clients before both the FERC and the NRC in matters involving the regulation of natural gas, electric and nuclear energy. Mr. Carr began his career as a trial attorney in the Office of General Counsel of the Federal Power Commission, the predecessor agency to FERC. He later was a trial attorney in the regulatory division of the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the NRC. In those positions, Mr. Carr was directly and continuously involved with licensing proceedings for nuclear plants as well as the panoply of issues associated with operating plants.

Since 2000, Mr. Carr has taught a course in Federal Energy Regulation as a Professor of Practice at Washington and Lee University School of Law. His course has been incorporated into the school's regular third-year curriculum. He is the author of a chapter on "Licensing and Regulation of U.S. Nuclear Power Plants" in a book released by the Federation of American Scientists and Washington and Lee University assessing the future of nuclear power in the United States.

Mr. Carr is a 1971 graduate of Washington and Lee University School of Law and a 1966 graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. He is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
