FERC will have a vital role in implementing the EPA’s Clean Power Plan but won’t take sides in ideological debates, Chairman Cheryl LaFleur said.

FERC Chairman Cheryl LaFleur called an unscheduled recess to the commission’s monthly open meeting Thursday due to a series of interruptions by protesters.

The Senate Tuesday night confirmed Colette Honorable, President Obama’s pick to serve on FERC, unanimously by simple voice vote.

U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said he will ask the Supreme Court to review an appellate court ruling voiding the FERC’s authority over DR in wholesale energy markets.

FERC yesterday approved the $6.8 billion merger of Exelon and Pepco Holdings Inc., dismissing concerns from PJM stakeholders.

PJM officials are developing contingency plans for their 2015 capacity auctions in the wake of last week’s stay of the D.C. Circuit Court's EPSA ruling.

A cost-benefit analysis released by PJM and the IMM says the RTO's proposed Capacity Performance product would cost ratepayers as much as $6 billion over the next four years.

A senior-level retirement has given Cheryl LaFleur an opportunity to put her stamp on FERC during her brief chairmanship.

FERC has identified 30 common performance metrics for comparing the performance of RTOs and ISOs, as well as utilities outside of organized markets.
