If you’re interested, now’s the time to file your intent and get your paperwork ready!

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission got a new filing from Colorado Interstate Gas Company about changing a gas pipeline agreement that starts November 16, 2026.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission got new filings from several natural gas pipeline companies about rate changes and agreements that could affect how much customers pay starting this fall.

2026-20580, Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Ventura to Farmington A-Line Abandonment and Capacity Replacement Project and Northern Lights 2027 Expansion Project
Northern Natural Gas Company plans to retire old pipeline sections in Iowa and Minnesota and build new ones to keep gas flowing smoothly and add extra capacity. This project will affect local communities and the environment but aims to do so responsibly, with a decision expected after public comments by November 2, 2026. The upgrades will help deliver more natural gas reliably, supporting energy needs without major environmental harm.

Willis D. Deveny, the current license holder for the Shingle Creek Hydroelectric Project in Idaho, missed the deadline to say if they plan to renew their license before it expires in 2031. Because of this, they can’t apply for a new license later, and others interested in the project are now invited to step up and file their own applications. This is a big chance for new players to get involved before the clock runs out!

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is sharing updates about off-the-record communications in ongoing cases.
