FERC will be closely monitoring ERCOT and Southern California this summer as most of the country faces the likelihood of above-normal temperatures.

FERC will review how it enforces the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), with the commission’s treatment of the 1-mile rule a likely focus.

More than 400 attorneys and other energy professionals attended the Energy Bar Association's annual meeting.

FERC told Congress it is ready to act on distributed energy resources (DER), assuring House members they will not encroach on state jurisdiction.

Congress will be watching FERC’s review of its policy on licensing natural gas pipelines very closely. Any changes FERC makes are unlikely to please all members, however.

FERC Chairman Kevin McIntyre disclosed Sunday that he underwent successful surgery for a brain tumor.

Blocked by regulators from moving its ailing coal-fired Pleasants plant into the rate base of a subsidiary, FirstEnergy announced it will shut the plant down.

Resilience, pipelines and PURPA topped the discussions at the National Association of Regulatory Commissioners’ (NARUC) winter meetings.

FERC ordered RTOs and ISOs to revise their tariffs to allow energy storage resources full access to their markets.

The chairman of NERC’s Board of Trustees said the organization hopes to have a new CEO in place by the summer.
