On January 19, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (Fourth Circuit) issued an opinion affirming on appeal the judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (District Court) granting PJM’s motion to dismiss Old Dominion Electric Cooperative’s (ODEC) claims for costs allegedly incurred during the January 2014 Polar Vortex. The Fourth Circuit agreed with the District Court that ODEC’s claims for compensation fall entirely within the PJM Tariff and therefore are exclusively governed by federal law and barred by the filed-rate doctrine. Therefore, the judgment of the District Court denying remand and dismissing Old Dominion’s claims with prejudice is affirmed.
