Energy Department Press Secretary issues statement about FERC public comments.
October 25, 2017“We are pleased by the level of interest resulting from the proposed rule Secretary Perry sent to FERC. As intended, the proposal has jumpstarted a long overdue conversation about grid resiliency.
We are still reviewing comments, but it is clear that there is a significant amount of support for the Secretary’s proposal. It is worth noting that even some critics of the proposal acknowledge there is a problem and that FERC needs to act to address pricing in the electric markets.” - DOE Press Secretary Shaylyn Hynes
