Conference
·
OSTI ID:54837
The role of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in regulating the electric power industry is discussed. FERC`s responsibilities in the competitive electric power market is outlined. The focus of FERC`s efforts in the coming months will be jurisdictional boundaries, regulatory standards, social and environmental goals, technological change, and policy goals. A more competitive market means that economics will decide which fuels and technologies will be used to meet electricity needs and there will be more variation in the type of service provided to individual customers. Customer choice is a key issue in a more competitive market structure.
