Washington’s attorney general and a coalition of environmental groups have mounted separate challenges to DOE's December decision to order TransAlta to continue operating the state’s last coal-fired plant for three months beyond its scheduled retirement.

The Michigan attorney general and a group of 10 NGOs have filed for rehearing of DOE's order to keep a coal plant running for this summer, while those parties and others debated the cost recovery filing Consumers Energy made at FERC.

FERC received several protests to Constellation's proposed purchase of Calpine, with PJM's Monitor arguing the companies need to make additional commitments to preserve competition in the RTO.

FERC approved PJM's annual update to its tariff’s cost responsibility assignments for transmission projects set to be completed in 2025.

FERC took the rare step of formally noticing potential discussions with DOJ anti-trust officials over Alabama Power's proposed purchase of a Tenaska power plant.

A wide ranging group of consumer organizations filed a complaint with FERC that seeks to rein in what they say is excess utility spending on transmission under local planning processes.

With President-elect Donald Trump promising to "dismantle the deep state," former FERC Chair Neil Chatterjee's social media post offering "insight on who to keep and who to remove" led to worries about the continued independence of the agency.

FERC approved granting voting rights to a member of American Electric Power’s board of directors who was appointed by investment firm Icahn Group.

Nearly a decade after the MISO capacity auction in which Dynegy was found to have manipulated clearing prices, FERC has directed hearing and settlement procedures in the case.
