Electric - Environment
While FERC has jurisdiction over hydropower projects, FERC has no authority over the
construction or maintenance of power generating plants and has significant limited jurisdiction
over transmission line siting.
The responsibility over the construction and maintenance of power generating plants and transmission lines primarily resides with the state Public Utility Commissions. You can link to all the Public Utility Commissions on the
National Associations of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) website.
