Can a final decision by the California Energy Commission on power plant certification be reviewed by a court?
Yes. Under Public Resources Code section 25531, the decisions of the Commission on any application for certification of a site and related facility are subject to judicial review by the Supreme Court of California – and only by that Court (i.e., not by the Superior Court of the Court of Appeal). Judicial review is sought by filing a “petition for a writ of mandate” with the Court.
