Multiple electric rate and ownership filings
The Commission received many filings from electric companies — including applications for market-based rate authorization (e.g., Sky Ranch Energy Storage II and Route 66 Energy Storage listed to be effective 2025-04-27), initial rate filings for Hornshadow Solar (to be effective 2025-03-02), and other tariff amendments and notices with effective dates ranging from 2025-01-28 through 2025-05-01. These filings name the applicants and list the docket numbers and the stated effective dates.
Public comment and intervention deadlines
If you want to intervene or file a protest in any listed FERC docket, you must file by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the docket-specific comment date (many are 3/18/2025 or 3/19/2025). Protests, interventions, or answers must follow FERC Rules 211, 214, or 206 and meet the stated deadline.
