On December 1,2017, FERC concluded that it has exclusive jurisdiction over the participation of energy efficiency resources ("EERs") in wholesale electricity markets.

On November 30, 2017, FERC upheld its denial of Rover Pipeline, LLC's ("Rover") request for a blanket construction certificate--which would have allowed Rover to perform certain routine construction activities and operations--in connection with the Rover Pipeline Project. FERC determined that it was not confident Rover would comply with the blanket construction certificate's environmental requirements due to Rover's demolition of a historic property along the project's route during the certificate proceeding. FERC also concluded that Rover intentionally circumvented the National Historic Preservation Act ("NHPA") by purchasing and demolishing the property.

On November 28, 2017, FERC accepted in part and rejected in part the California Independent System Operator Corporation's ("CAISO") two sets of tariff revisions concerning natural gas system limitations on CAISO's system and market operations. Specifically, FERC accepted CAISO's proposed extension, for one additional year, of temporary Aliso Canyon tariff revisions that FERC previously accepted on an interim basis. However, FERC rejected CAISO's proposal to make other interim measures permanent and to extend their application to the entire CAISO-operated western grid, including the CAISO-operated Western Energy Imbalance Market ("EIM"),
