  Electric Reliability
Congress and the President in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave the FERC important new regulatory authority over the reliability of the nation’s bulk-power system. Mandatory and enforceable reliability standards and a strong reliability program are critical elements of that new authority. Visit our Electric Reliability Section
  Hydrokinetic Energy Technology
  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
