If you are a FERC watcher, you might be reading today about the “recusal” of a Commissioner from dockets or orders and wondering why that happens. The reason is simple – the law requires it to ensure impartiality and fairness. That context is missing from some reports. 🧵1/

Recommended reading for fellow energy nerds remembering President Carter today. First, a great piece from Daniel Yergin that succinctly describes the energy crisis Carter faced, and how he chose to confront it.🧵 www.linkedin.com/pulse/jimmy-...

I’m proud of the hard work our team did to take the Transmission Facilitation Program from legislative text to a powerful tool for transmission deployment that provides real benefits to real people at low risk to taxpayers. This video shows some of those benefits. www.energy.gov/gdo/articles...

For you transmission planning + cost allocation freaks on #energysky, FERC appears poised to issue an order on requests for rehearing (i.e. appeals) of Order 1920 at its open meeting next week. That means we’ll likely have further guidance on compliance obligations soon. www.ferc.gov/news-events/...

Hi, finally posting for the first time here. 👋 I’m a lawyer and policy person in the electric power sector, focusing on transmission right now but with a long background in formation and structure of wholesale power markets and working at the intersection of law and policy. Excited to interact here!
