Californians For Renewable Energy v. Ca Puco
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
MARBLEY, District Judge:
In 1978, Congress enacted the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act ("PURPA"). PURPA made several changes to energy regulation, particularly to how utilities would interact with small independent energy producers. PURPA charges the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") with enacting implementing regulations. FERC's regulations, in turn, allow state regulatory agencies to determine exactly how they will comply with PURPA and FERC's regulations. The relevant state agency here is the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC").
