Pacific Gas and Electric Company v. United States
Case dismissed, pursuant to Rule 46, on June 13, 2018
Issues: (1) Whether sales of energy through centralized market exchanges form direct contractual privity between buyers of that energy and the federal agencies selling it, such that the Court of Federal Claims has jurisdiction over a suit to recover overcharges from the federal agencies; and (2) whether petitioners were in privity with the federal power marketing agencies for those sales because the energy exchanges acted as the parties' agents in facilitating their transactions.
