Partner Stephen Spina was quoted in an article from E&E News by Politico about the potential impact on the energy sector of the US Supreme Court’s decision overturning the Chevron doctrine.
Discussing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Steve explained that there may not be a significant impact on FERC decision-making, particularly for decisions under the Federal Power Act, where there is “fairly established jurisdiction” over power sales, transmission, and interstate commerce.
“Within those standards, … there are a number of judicial doctrines that have been developed over the years that apply to the work that they do, that’s very specific to what FERC does,” Steve said.
