ENERGY · Court upholds FERC rule to speed up grid hookups
The D.C. Circuit rejected a challenge to FERC's rule for connecting new power projects, keeping intact a fix for a 2,000+ gigawatt queue backlog.

Our monthly automated processing of #FERC EQR data seems to be working. New Parquet outputs that run through 2025Q4 now available in S3. We've also integrated EQR into the PUDL Data Viewer, so you can browse before downloading:

Manually uploaded a couple of years of processed FERC EQR data if anybody would like to play with it. Working on the automated builds now. There are 4 directories, one for each EQR table under this path:
s3://pudl.catalyst.coop/ferceqr/
Each directory contains one Parquet file per quarter of data.

#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers
Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support
by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.
"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."
[...]
"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.
"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

FERC just closed RM20-12-000 - the inquiry into CIP standards + cyber gaps.
Is this confidence in the industry r a shift toward deregulation?
We break it down: INSM, virtualization, low-impact assets & what’s next.

"...Covered Agencies shall issue a sunset rule, effective not later than September 30, 2025, that inserts a Conditional Sunset Date into each of their Covered Regulations."

Until shortly ago this spillway entrance was overseen for failure analysis by #FERC experts. The operators do not have this expertise, which was shared by many quite efficiently.
The structure protects a 61m earth fill damn that has zero tolerance for over-topping.
If the dam fails, it will put a community of ~3,OOO under as much of 10m of water.
Losing this capacity is not a savings. There was already efficiency and anyway the prime purpose of government is effective service not efficiency.
-
As I heard it today during an engineer-led tour in connection with emergency warning systems improvements, we're no longer capable of modeling complex flow effects through the relief systems for the 200' earth fill dam serviced by this "glory hole" spillway-- due to gratuitous destruction at #FERC.
Which comes while dam spillways etc. are being reassessed and revised to account for 50 years of better statistics and projection of #ClimateChange effects.

"Dismissing opposition from renewable energy developers, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Tuesday approved the PJM Interconnection’s proposal for a fast-track interconnection review for shovel-ready generation projects.
#FERC also approved changes to #PJM’s rules for Surplus Interconnection Service, or #SIS, that could help get additional capacity online."

US regulator Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (#FERC) blocked #Amazon's bid to access more power from the Susquehanna #nuclear plant for its #Pennsylvania #datacenter, citing grid reliability and consumer cost concerns.

Former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chair Neil Chatterjee said on Thursday he gave a road map to the Trump transition team on how to implement job cuts at the agency that regulates the nation’s gas and electric systems.
“It’s despicable for former FERC chairman and Commissioner to make a threatening statement like that about FERC staff,”

"The results of the 2024 presidential election are now apparent and leadership of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will soon change. As a traditional part of the peaceful transfer of power, FERC should immediately stop work on any partisan or controversial item under consideration...

Federal regulators have rejected a deal that would let Amazon draw more power from a Pennsylvania nuclear plant to supply new bit barns next to the site, on the grounds this would set a precedent which may affect grid reliability and increase energy costs.

@CursedSilicon @DeltaWye the midwest faces all the extremes texas does plus extra. 100F weather, -40F weather 90mph+ winds, and ice and snow.
Our power grid usually stays up. Texas isnt investing their high utility rates back into the grid. We have laws thanks to FERC that mandate reliability investiments.
In texas they just give the ceo and some politicians a paycheck like russia while charging possibly the highest electric rates in the nation. I.E. pay more, get less.
