A Path Forward for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The report advocates for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to actively align its regulatory practices with climate policies, accelerate the development of transmission infrastructure, and reform energy market rules to support a clean energy transition.

• The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is urged to take an active role in three key areas: aligning regulatory practices with climate policies, accelerating the development of necessary transmission infrastructure, and reforming energy market rules.
• FERC's actions or inaction in these three areas are identified as critical factors that will influence the success of the next administration's clean energy and climate policies.
• FERC possesses the legal authority to implement these reforms under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Natural Gas Act, or the Federal Power Act.
