FERC Commissioners Judy Chang and Lindsay See endorsed a letter by Chair David Rosner on the sharing of best practices around load forecasting in light of growing demand driven by data centers.

FERC focused on large loads and clearing out older proceedings during its September meeting, with two of three current members saying they hoped to move a pending proceeding on co-located loads in the near future.

An apparently routine rate incentive request from a MISO transmission developer who has yet to be assigned a project turned into a debate between FERC commissioners over capital structures in ratemaking.

The departure of Mark Christie as chair of FERC likely signals the end of the agency's longstanding independence.

The 2025 Mid-America Regulatory Conference tackled themes on meaningful public engagement, nuclear options, bill affordability and DEI programs falling out of favor.

FERC granted rate incentives for the priciest project to come out of MISO’s 2024 Transmission Expansion Plan, setting off friction between commissioners.

FERC rejected SPP’s proposed tariff revisions to implement a multiday economic commitment process, agreeing with the MMU that it introduces a potential gaming opportunity.

FERC approved Order 1920-A, addressing rehearing arguments from the previous order by granting states more guarantees that their views on cost allocation would be considered, among other changes.

Change is coming to FERC after Tuesday's election, but the policies the agency oversees are rarely top of mind during campaigns, so it is unclear how much will be different.
