Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit January 5, 2007, No. 05-1231 (Sacramento Municipal Utility District v. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission)

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge TATEL.

TATEL, Circuit Judge:

For the second time in as many years, petitioner, a local utility, seeks review of a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission order denying it the opportunity to continue purchasing transmission services through a contract that expired at the end of 2004. Finding petitioner’s claims merit-less, we deny the petition.

I.
