Corporation Today Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR) announced that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a decision in favor of Avangrid Renewables, LLC (Renewables), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid, in the litigation related to the California energy crisis of 2000-2001.
Key Points:

- The California Agencies further alleged that Renewables exercised market power that forced CDWR to pay unjust and unreasonable prices and agree to onerous, unjust and unreasonable nonprice terms.
- Following FERC action, appeals to the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court and remand, FERC ordered a trial-type, evidentiary hearing to supplement the existing record.
- Consequently, FERC found that the contract is just and reasonable and refunds for Renewables’ contract are not warranted.
