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.

FERC denied Consumers Energy’s request for a waiver from MISO’s must-offer requirement, three weeks after approving a similar request by IPL.

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.

With a disruptive confirmation process behind her, FERC Chairman Cheryl LaFleur said she believes morale at the agency is improving.

Just days after Norman Bay was sworn in as FERC’s fifth member, Democrat John Norris announced he will resign his position almost three years early.
