CIT Sustains Commerce's CVD Review on Canadian Utility Scale Wind Towers in Confidential Opinion

The Court of International Trade sustained the Commerce Department's final determination in the countervailing duty investigation on utility scale wind towers from Canada, as well as the agency's final negative determination of critical circumstances, in confidential opinion March 18. In a public order on the case, Judge Gary Katzmann denied the motions for judgment filed by plaintiffs Government of Quebec, Marmen Energie and Government of Canada and by defendant-intervenor Wind Tower Trade Coalition. The litigants challenged Commerce's position that Quebec's local content requirement program didn't confer a countervailable subsidy on Marmen, among other things (The Government of Quebec v. U.S., CIT Consol. #20-00168).
