Patrick Morand will present, "The FERC-State Jurisdictional Relationship: Can Legal Clarity Reduce Political Tension?" at the Energy Bar Association Mid-Year Energy Forum on Tuesday, October 17, 2024, in Washington, DC.
In the ever-evolving landscape of the electric energy sector, the boundaries between state and federal jurisdiction are often blurred, leading to intricate and sometimes contentious interactions. This panel will delve into the nuanced complexities of energy federalism, particularly exploring the evolution of FERC's jurisdiction over wholesale sales of electricity.
The panel discuss where the lines of authority have been tested and redefined, focusing on community solar, community choice aggregations, and behind-the-meter generation. Attendees of this panel will learn about recent examples of the federalism principles that do (and don't) apply in the energy space and the evolving ways tensions between state and federal jurisdiction arise.
