FERC May 2024 Open Meeting Preview
It's a busy time for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the "Commission" or "FERC"). In March 2024, FERC issued Order No. 2023-A upholding its major generator interconnection reform order, Order No. 2023. FERC followed that major ruling with two other big actions just six weeks later, issuing two landmark orders—Order No. 1920 (pertaining to long-term transmission planning) and Order No. 1977 (FERC's backstop transmission siting procedures)—on May 13, 2024, at a special open meeting.
