Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil; reviews proposals to build LNG terminals and interstate natural gas pipelines; and licenses hydropower projects. FERC also oversees operations of regional wholesale electricity and natural gas markets and oversees the reliability of the bulk electric system.
FERC approved MISO’s Transmission Owners’ request to eliminate reactive power compensation for generators, cutting a $220 million annual revenue requirement.
The Solar Energy Industries Association lodged a complaint at FERC against MISO’s practice of blocking intermittent resources from its ancillary service market.
The partisan divide was clearly visible at the House Energy panel's first hearing, but witnesses suggested they might find common ground on permitting “reform.”
