Dossier D.C. Cir. circuit opinion 24-jul-2026
A U.S. Court of Appeals ruling — binding precedent within that circuit, persuasive elsewhere.

American Whitewater v. FERC

Key claim: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decided American Whitewater v. FERC on July 24, 2026, in a dispute involving the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Abstract

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit opinion decided 2026-07-24.

Why this matters

D.C. Circuit review is the principal check on FERC hydropower licensing decisions, including recreation-flow and environmental conditions that affect project economics and river users. Even without a disclosed holding, the case’s existence signals continued litigation pressure on how FERC balances recreation, environmental, and generation interests in relicensing.
