The National Petroleum Council is the latest group urging reforms to address gas-electric coordination including pipeline expansion, and reforms to organized power markets and pipeline tariffs.

Livewire columnist K Kaufmann argues that clean energy supporters should focus on a strategically planned, outcome-focused, and rapidly achievable transition toward renewables.

Many comments on the Department of Energy’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to FERC on large load interconnections warned against going too far into jurisdictional issues.

There's a clear parallel between what FERC did to speed the building of new generation at the turn of the millennium and what DOE wants to do today to accelerate the growth of critical data infrastructure, says former FERC Chair Pat Wood III.

DOE awarded Constellation a $1 billion loan for its Crane Clean Energy Center project, which will cut financing costs for the nuclear unit restart.

State regulators say the push to give FERC jurisdiction over large load interconnections could leave the agency biting off more than it can chew around complex state-run processes, while failing to accomplish the intended goal of speeding approvals of hyperscale data centers.

Not surprisingly, state regulators quickly made their concerns known about DOE's request for a new FERC rulemaking proceeding in order to “ensure efficient, timely and non-discriminatory load interconnections” for large loads, says columnist Peter Kelly-Detwiler.

Tribes asked FERC to reject a proposal from Energy Secretary Chris Wright to reverse a 2024 rule change that required consultation with them over hydropower projects proposed on their lands.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners passed a resolution urging FERC to resist the Department of Energy’s push to give itself jurisdiction over large loads interconnecting with the grid.
