Wednesday, June 30, 2021 The U.S. Supreme Court held in PennEast Pipeline Co. v. New Jersey that natural gas pipeline companies with a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) may condemn State lands. In the June 29, 2021 decision, the Supreme Court overturned a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that held the pipeline developer PennEast Pipeline Company could not seize land owned by the State of New Jersey.  The Court held, in a 5-4 split ruling, that Section 7(h) of the Natural Gas Act (“NGA”), 15 U.S.C. § 717f(h), properly allowed FERC to confer to natural gas pipeline companies the authority to file lawsuits condemning State lands, and that a State cannot use its sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment as a defense to condemnation proceedings.
