From Chairman Kelliher

October 16, 2008 - “The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has taken an important step in our longstanding efforts to promote more effective competition by issuing a final rule to strengthen wholesale competition in organized regional power markets. Competition is national policy with respect to wholesale power markets, and has been for almost 30 years. Significantly, competition policy has always been bipartisan. Competition became national policy through enactment of three significant federal laws. Two laws were crafted by a Democratic Congress, one by a Republican Congress. Two were signed into law by Republican Presidents, one by a Democratic President. Every President since Jimmy Carter has either embraced or accepted competition as national policy with respect to wholesale electricity markets.

		Electric Reliability
		"Mandatory and enforceable reliability standards and a strong reliability regime are critical elements of the Commission's new regulatory authority over the reliability of the nation's bulk power system, which Congress enacted in the Energy Policy Act of 2005" Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher, September 20, 2007. Visit our Electric Reliability Section

		Transmission Line Siting
		Congress gave FERC authority to backstop states in siting transmission lines used for interstate commerce in corridors designated by the Department of Energy as being "in the National Interest". States retain primary jurisdiction for siting transmission, even in these corridors. FERC becomes involved in transmission siting only in certain situations where states do not or cannot site the facilities. Visit our Transmission Line Siting Section
