Summary
FERC is asking for public feedback to keep collecting Electric Quarterly Reports from utilities, but they’re not changing any rules or forms. This affects public and some private utilities who report electricity sales and prices. Comments are due by March 19, 2026, and there’s no new cost or paperwork increase—just a smooth extension of the current system.

EQR Reporting Extended Three Years
FERC is renewing the FERC-920 Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) information collection for a three-year extension with no changes to reporting requirements. The Commission estimates 3,672 respondents filing 4 reports each (14,688 total responses), with an average burden of 18.1 hours per response and an annual cost per respondent of $7,456, for a total estimated annual cost of $27,382,859.
Maintains Wholesale Market Transparency
FERC will continue collecting EQR data and making it available to the public to provide greater price transparency and help promote competition. The Commission says the EQR helps the public assess market fundamentals, supports FERC oversight, and can lead to greater market confidence and lower transaction costs.
