Energy Firms Seek Rule Exemptions: FERC Invites Your Two Cents

Published Date: 1/16/2026

Notice

Summary

Several energy companies, like Steel River Solar and Pastoria Power, have told the government they’re officially exempt from some rules because they generate wholesale electricity. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is reviewing these filings and invites public comments by early February 2026. These updates could affect how these companies operate and sell power, with some rate changes set to kick in later this year.
