In the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005 or Act), Congress gave the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) a “backstop” siting role in the event of lack of action by a state commission. In 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit effectively gutted FERC’s rules implementing its backstop authority.
