FERC Exposes Secret Energy Talks: Keeping Proceedings Fair

## Summary

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is sharing updates about off-the-record communications in ongoing cases. If someone sends a secret message that’s not allowed, it won’t count unless fairness calls for it, and everyone involved can respond. This keeps the process fair and transparent, with no extra costs or delays for the public or parties involved.
