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.
The PJM MIC will consider modifying the algorithm used for publishing supply curves resulting from the annual capacity market auction.
Could a Regional Pipeline Organization (RPO) improve electric-gas coordination for PJM and the whole electric industry in the Mid-Atlantic states?
Two-thirds of PJM’s transmission owners have failed to file FERC-approved tariffs disclosing the methodology they use to calculate customer rates ...
With its reliance on demand response and heavy concentration in PJM, EnerNOC has seen its fortunes wax and wane based on decisions made by PJM and FERC.
PJM's MRC approved a problem statement on 5/30 to develop ways to standardize and improve transparency on the unit-specific review process used in MOPR.
Two utilities signaled their intent to oppose a “multi-driver” approach for incorporating public policy goals in PJM’s transmission planning process.
NERC urged electric industry planners to begin incorporating the risk of natural gas supply interruptions in their reliability and resource assessments.
FERC Said that the electric transmission system needs more protections against geomagnetic disturbances like the 1989 solar storm that caused the collapse of the Hydro-Quebec grid.
Public interest groups scolded PJM for excluding them from the MOPR stakeholder process and for setting its annual meeting at the Greenbrier. The public interest groups and state regulators also praised PJM for its handling of generation retirements and lobbied it to increase use of demand response and energy efficiency.
FERC approved a revised transmission planning reliability standard (TPL-001-4) it had previously rejected as “vague and unenforceable.”
