"...Covered Agencies shall issue a sunset rule, effective not later than September 30, 2025, that inserts a Conditional Sunset Date into each of their Covered Regulations."
Until shortly ago this spillway entrance was overseen for failure analysis by #FERC experts. The operators do not have this expertise, which was shared by many quite efficiently.
The structure protects a 61m earth fill damn that has zero tolerance for over-topping.
If the dam fails, it will put a community of ~3,OOO under as much of 10m of water.
Losing this capacity is not a savings. There was already efficiency and anyway the prime purpose of government is effective service not efficiency.
As I heard it today during an engineer-led tour in connection with emergency warning systems improvements, we're no longer capable of modeling complex flow effects through the relief systems for the 200' earth fill dam serviced by this "glory hole" spillway-- due to gratuitous destruction at #FERC.
Which comes while dam spillways etc. are being reassessed and revised to account for 50 years of better statistics and projection of #ClimateChange effects.
"Dismissing opposition from renewable energy developers, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Tuesday approved the PJM Interconnection’s proposal for a fast-track interconnection review for shovel-ready generation projects.
#FERC also approved changes to #PJM’s rules for Surplus Interconnection Service, or #SIS, that could help get additional capacity online."

NERC, overseen by FERC, warns soaring US electricity demand from data centers powering AI could strain US & Canadian grids, risking blackouts. ⚡️ #EnergyCrisis #AI #DataCenters #ElectricityDemand #Blackouts #GridSecurity #NERC #FERC #TechImpact #RenewableEnergy
US regulator Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (#FERC) blocked #Amazon's bid to access more power from the Susquehanna #nuclear plant for its #Pennsylvania #datacenter, citing grid reliability and consumer cost concerns.

#FERC approved the transaction on the back of a previously granted blanket authorization to BlackRock that allows the asset manager to acquire up to 20% of voting securities of certain types of #UtilityCompanies. BlackRock first received the authorization in 2010, and the Commission declined to reconsider it as part of the transaction.
Former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chair Neil Chatterjee said on Thursday he gave a road map to the Trump transition team on how to implement job cuts at the agency that regulates the nation’s gas and electric systems.
“It’s despicable for former FERC chairman and Commissioner to make a threatening statement like that about FERC staff,”

"The results of the 2024 presidential election are now apparent and leadership of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will soon change. As a traditional part of the peaceful transfer of power, FERC should immediately stop work on any partisan or controversial item under consideration...

Federal regulators have rejected a deal that would let Amazon draw more power from a Pennsylvania nuclear plant to supply new bit barns next to the site, on the grounds this would set a precedent which may affect grid reliability and increase energy costs.
