Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for regulating the country's electricity, natural gas, and oil industries. It ensures fair pricing, promotes reliable energy supplies, and oversees infrastructure development like pipelines and power plants. FERC also plays a key role in approving interstate energy transactions and fostering competition in energy markets. By doing so, it helps protect consumer interests and supports the nation's transition to cleaner energy sources.
