FERC denied the requests today of dozens of industry organizations seeking more time to comment on the DOE's grid resiliency pricing proposal.
Energy trade groups representing the oil, natural gas, solar and wind industries, as well as several power generators likely affected by DOE's rule, had asked for 90 days to comment on the plan and 45 days for reply comments. That would push the comment deadlines into 2018. Last week, FERC said it would accept initial comments for less than a month, and today's decision stuck to that timeframe.
"Upon consideration, the motions of the Energy Industry Associations, Independent Producers, and Industrial Energy Consumers of America for extension of time to file comments are hereby denied," FERC's notice states.
On Tuesday, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, which represents state regulators and tends to have significant influence with FERC, also requested a longer comment period, but their request wasn't cited in FERC's notice today.
WHAT'S NEXT: FERC is taking initial comments through Oct. 23 and reply comments through Nov. 7.
