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.
In a new report, NERC recommended against expanding requirements for internal network security monitoring too quickly.
PJM has begun working its way through 308 projects in its transitional generation interconnection queue, advancing it a step toward implementation of a clustered method of studying network upgrades.
FERC put the Tennessee Valley Authority one step closer to replacing its Cumberland coal plant with a new natural gas plant when it permitted a new pipeline.
A Wisconsin coal plant kept online for the sake of reliability will receive smaller monthly payments from MISO, FERC ruled in a settlement approval.
NYISO's Business Issues Committee voted in favor of proposed tariff revisions that would provide all fast-start resources with their physical schedules for the day-ahead market.
MISO said it has landed on a final design in its quest to move to a sweeping capacity accreditation that will better measure generators’ availability based on predetermined risky hours.
FERC didn’t completely buy into MISO’s package of stricter rules to lighten its gridlocked interconnection queue, rejecting the RTO’s proposed annual megawatt cap on project submittals.
MISO said it will file by the end of the month to scrap a clunky and all-but-abandoned generator offer style from its tariff.
FERC partially granted two challenges arguing that AEP subsidiaries in SPP and PJM had not properly reflected the benefits of filing consolidated tax returns in their 2021 formula rates.
NERC provided its plan for addressing FERC's directive to address reliability concerns with inverter-based resources.
