Department of Energy March 28, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In this Notice of Inquiry, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) seeks comments on the scope and implementation of its electric transmission incentives regulations and policy.

Following the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Emera Maine v. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Commission seeks information and stakeholder views to help the Commission explore whether, and if so how, it should modify its policies concerning the determination of the return on equity (ROE) to be used in designing jurisdictional rates charged by public utilities. The Commission also seeks comment on whether any changes to its policies concerning public utility ROEs should be applied to interstate natural gas and oil pipelines.
