Many FERC Filings Could Affect Power Supply
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission received many filings in early June 2025 — including merger/authorization requests, solar project self-certifications, complaints, and rate filings. Several comment deadlines fall in late June 2025 (for example, 5:00 p.m. ET on 2025-06-16, 2025-06-20, 2025-06-26, 2025-06-27, and 2025-06-30) and decisions on these filings could affect how electricity is bought, sold, or managed and possibly consumer bills.
Specific Tariff/Rate Filings List Effective Dates
Multiple utilities and grid operators filed tariff and rate changes that list specific effective dates in 2025 — for example, Southwestern Electric Power Company Rate Schedule No. 128 to be effective 2025-05-30, Amazon Energy LLC filing effective 2025-06-11, and several Midcontinent and PJM-related filings to be effective 2025-08-06 or 2025-08-09. If approved, these filings would put new tariff terms or rates into effect on those dates.
Public Comment/Intervention Deadlines And Help
The notice states that anyone wishing to intervene, protest, or answer complaints must file by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment dates (various dates in June 2025). The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) can assist members of the public — including landowners, community organizations, and Tribal members — with filings and information; OPP contact is provided in the notice.
