The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit recently upheld the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Order No. 1000, which requires public utility electric transmission providers to engage in regional transmission planning and cost allocation. South Carolina Public Service Authority v. FERC, No. 12-1232 (August 15, 2014). The decision means that both public utilities and non-public utilities (chiefly rural electric cooperatives and governmental entities), which are not subject to the full jurisdiction of FERC, will have to work together to a greater extent to plan, build and pay for transmission facilities.
