U.S. Energy Regulatory Commission

The U.S. Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is a federal agency responsible for overseeing the nation's energy supply. It regulates interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil, ensuring fair prices and reliable service for consumers. FERC also licenses hydroelectric projects and reviews proposals for new energy facilities. By balancing the needs of consumers, energy producers, and environmental concerns, FERC plays a crucial role in shaping U.S. energy policy and promoting a reliable and sustainable energy infrastructure.
