Energy industry associations call on FERC to expand deliberative process before unprecedented rule-making

According to AWEA, a group of energy industry associations have called on the FERC to consider stakeholder input as it determines how to move forward with grid-resiliency pricing.

A group of 11 energy industry associations representing natural gas, wind, solar, rural electric cooperatives, and other energy technologies today filed a motion at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), following the Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposed rule-making on grid resiliency pricing.

In their motion, energy industry associations called on FERC to move forward with a deliberative process that considers stakeholder input as it determines whether and how to move forward with a rule-making.

Specifically, the energy industry associations’ motion:

  • Opposes DOE’s request for an interim final rule;
  • Requests that any comment period should be at least 90 days given potential ramifications for consumers and billions of dollars of electric sector investments;
  • Requests a technical conference be held prior to the end of the comment period for stakeholders to better understand the proposal and provide meaningful input; and,
  • Notes that the other deadlines in the DOE proposal are “wholly unreasonable and insufficient” and should be extended, should FERC “decide to proceed with a rulemaking of this type at all.”

These energy industry associations signed onto the motion:

  • Advanced Energy Economy
  • American Council On Renewable Energy
  • American Petroleum Institute
  • American Public Power Association
  • American Wind Energy Association
  • Electricity Consumers Resource Council
  • Electric Power Supply Association
  • Interstate Natural Gas Association of America
  • National Rural Electric Cooperative
  • Natural Gas Supply Association
  • Solar Energy Industries Association

Last week, the DOE asked FERC to develop and implement reforms focused on the reliability and resiliency of America’s electricity grid.
