FERC Ignores Pipelines, Proceeds With Rule To Make Rate Challenges Easier

摘要

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ignored pleas from interstate pipelines and proceeded with a rulemaking which, if finalized, will require transmission companies to report more financial data to the commission on Form 2, which shippers use as the basis of complaints about unfair pipeline rates. The shipper community has argued that Form 2 information is insufficient and now FERC has agreed with them.rnThe commissioners believe that the lack of data is preventing some shippers from challenging pipeline rates, some of which have not been reviewed in a decade.
