Washington AG Sued FERC for Records Related to Proposed Bailout of Coal and Nuclear Companies

JANUARY 31, 2018

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking nuclear and coal records under the Freedom of Information Act. In the complaint, AG Ferguson emphasizes that, “[i]n light of the long periods of time in 2017 during which FERC failed to have a quorum of commissioners, failed to have a public meeting, and/or considered very significant changes to American energy markets, Washingtonians (and all Americans) deserve to know what was happening at FERC, especially among those few Commissioners who remained at the Commission.”
