On Friday, the Commerce Department said four Chinese solar companies
were routing products through Southeast Asian countries in order to
evade tariffs. The investigation has worried solar companies in the U.S.
that fear they won’t get the imported panels they need for their
projects, but Commerce’s findings included key exceptions that could
blunt the short-term impact on the sector. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino
breaks down Commerce’s decision. Plus, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
D.C. Circuit sent a transmission case back to FERC in a win for
renewables.
