Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil; reviews proposals to build LNG terminals and interstate natural gas pipelines; and licenses hydropower projects. FERC also oversees operations of regional wholesale electricity and natural gas markets and oversees the reliability of the bulk electric system.

FERC approved PJM’s proposal to cap the amount of Limited and Extended Summer demand response that clears in the annual base capacity auction, an action expected to increase capacity prices.
Acting FERC Chair Cheryl LaFleur said yesterday she’d like to keep the top job.
