Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) (Dam)

The Commission issues and regulates licenses for construction and operation of non federal hydroelectric projects and advises federal agencies on the merits of proposed federal multipurpose water development projects.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) (Energy)

Operating within the Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is an agency with both judicial and legislative powers. Assuming most of the duties of the Federal Power Commission (FPC) at its inception in 1977, the FERC's main duties are to regulate the interstate sale, transportation, and transmission of energy and energy resources, as well as the licensing of hydroelectric projects. Its authority is derived primarily from the Federal Power Act (FPA) of 1935, which states that it is the federal government's responsibility to ensure just and reasonable rates for power.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) (Fish)

The Commission issues and regulates licenses for construction and operation of non federal hydroelectric projects and advises federal agencies on the merits of proposed federal multipurpose water development projects.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) (Natural Gas)

An agency of the government of the United States created by an Act of Congress, the Department of Energy Organization Act, in 1977. This Act transferred to the FERC most of the former Federal Power Commission's interstate regulatory functions over the electric power and natural gas industries. The Act also transferred from the Interstate Commerce Commission the authority to set oil pipeline transportation rates and to set the value of oil pipelines for ratemaking purposes. In 1978, Congress passed the Natural Energy Act, broadening the FERC's jurisdiction and regulatory functions. The FERC now also regulates producer sales of natural gas in intrastate commerce. The FERC establishes uniform ceiling prices for each of several categories of natural gas, and these prices apply to all sales on a nationwide basis.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) (Wind Energy)

An independent regulatory agency within the U.S. Department of Energy that has jurisdiction over interstate electricity sales, wholesale electricity rates, natural gas and oil pipeline rates, and gas pipeline certification. It also licenses and inspects private, municipal, and state hydroelectric projects and oversees related environmental matters.
