CLERK'S JUDGMENT in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendants in the form of a declaratory judgment holding that the Whitehall Wind test utilized by Defendants in Order 7500 for determining QFs' continued eligibility to sell at rates under the prior QF-1 Tariff violates PURPA and its implementing regulations. It is Further Ordered that Judgment is entered in favor of Defendants in an order dismissing Part B of Plaintiffs prayer for relief. (HEG) (Entered: 11/30/2018)
OPINION AND ORDER: Plaintiffs' summary judgment motion (Doc. 35) is granted as to Part A of it's claim for relief. Defendants' summary judgment motion (Doc. 60) is denied as to Part A of plaintiffs' prayer for relief and granted as to Part B of Plaintiffs' prayer for relief. Although Plaintiffs request attorneys' fees and costs in Part C of their prayers for relief, they did not argue this issue in their briefs or during oral argument. Given that Plaintiffs prevailed only as to Part A of their claim for relief, the Court finds that neither party is entitled to fees or costs. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this order. Signed by Judge Charles C. Lovell on 11/30/2018. (HEG) (Entered: 11/30/2018)
