The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seemed unconvinced by arguments that FERC exceeded its jurisdiction by refusing to let states opt out of Order 841.

MISO defended its first storage-as-transmission proposal, maintaining the plan is a good interim measure while the RTO designs a permanent approach.
