1Opinion of the Court
Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge Rogers.
SILBERMAN, Senior Circuit Judge:
When new sources of power generation connect to the existing transmission grid, the grid often requires new construction beyond the point of interconnection in order to accommodate the increased flows of electricity. FERC issued a series of orders empowering incoming generators within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region1 to elect to self-fund this new construction, or to seek financing from third parties, regardless of whether the current grid owners wish to fund the construction themselves.
