On May 18, 2018, FERC denied rehearing of its April 28, 2016 order (the "April 28 Order") approving Dominion Transmission, Inc.'s ("Dominion") New Market Project. Notably, FERC held that it is not required to analyze the upstream and downstream impacts of a proposed pipeline project unless those impacts are considered cumulative or indirect effects within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"), Commissioners Cheryl LaFleurand Richard Click dissented in part, instead finding that FERC is required to provide the public with information relating to the upstream and downstream impacts of a proposed project and stating that FERC should ask applicants to provide such information.

On May 24, 2018, FERC denied a complaint filed by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities ("NJBPU") alleging unjust and unreasonable cost allocations for the BergenLinden Corridor transmission project (the "Project") within the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") footprint. FERC rejected NJBPU's claims that, among other alleged problems, PJM's implementation of certain provisions in its tariff and the Joint Operating Agreement (the "JOA") with the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. ("NYISO") unfairly insulated New York ratepayers from costs associated with the Project, at the expense of New Jersey ratepayers and in violation of FERC's Order No. 1000.

On May 17, 2018, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NOPR") in which it proposed to approve Reliability Standard TPL-007-2 (Transmission System Planned Performance for Geomagnetic Disturbance Events) submitted by the North American Electric Corporation ("NERO"). Geomagnetic disturbance ("GMD") events result from charged particles ejected from the sun that interact with and cause changes in the earth's magnetic fields, impacting flows on electric power systems and potentially causing voltage instability and equipment failure.

Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA
on May 29,2018 Tiers 8&9
ED 002061 00181028-00002
On May 22, 2018, GlidePath Power Solutions LLC ("GlidePath") filed a complaint with FERC under sections 206 and 306 of the Federal Power Act alleging that PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") improperly rejected GlidePath's interconnection request for a proposed battery storage facility (the "Project"). GlidePath alleged that PJM relied on an impermissible interpretation of its generator interconnection rules, which require demonstration of site control, to unjustly deny interconnection service for the Project, resulting in cancellation of the Project's interconnection request. In its complaint, GlidePath requested that FERC find that PJM unjustly, unreasonably, and incorrectly applied its rules regarding site control, and that PJM must restore the queue position held by the Project.
