President Donald Trump, who appointed Mark Christie to FERC in 2020 during his first term, has now selected him as the commission's new chair.

The direction FERC takes during President-elect Donald Trump’s second term is up in the air, but the commission may spend some of its time attempting to cut costs to consumers.

FERC rejected proposals from PJM and its transmission owners that would have changed regional planning, by moving those rules to the tariff from the operating agreement, while also giving transmission owners more authority over the process.

FERC rejected SPP’s proposed tariff revisions to implement a multiday economic commitment process, agreeing with the MMU that it introduces a potential gaming opportunity.

FERC approved Order 1920-A, addressing rehearing arguments from the previous order by granting states more guarantees that their views on cost allocation would be considered, among other changes.

FERC approved tariff revisions and modifications to the joint operating agreement between MISO and SPP that will enshrine a structural and cost-allocation framework for the five projects in their Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue portfolio.

Change is coming to FERC after Tuesday's election, but the policies the agency oversees are rarely top of mind during campaigns, so it is unclear how much will be different.

FERC rejected an amended ISA filed by PJM to allow an existing data center co-located at a Talen Energy nuclear plant to expand, saying it did not meet the commission's standards for changes from its pro forma rules.

FERC dismissed a complaint the Virginia Municipal Electric Association filed against Dominion Energy’s Virginia Electric Power Co. alleging the utility overcharged its members $2.8 million.

FERC approved a deal in which BlackRock would buy all the limited liability company interests in Global Infrastructure Management for $3 billion in cash and 12 million shares of BlackRock Funding.
