FERC & Federal
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent regulatory agency that oversees the transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil in interstate commerce, as well as regulating hydroelectric dams and natural gas facilities.
FERC has asked for comments on the pros and cons of six potential rule changes, proposed by NIPSCO, intended to push PJM and MISO to create cross-border transmission projects.
This week's FERC and federal briefs include news on the Supreme Court, the Fish & Wildlife Service, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the EPA.
