Use 2024 Taxonomy for Form No. 60
If you file FERC Form No. 60, you must use the XBRL Version 2024-04-01 files. The 2024 version was restored on April 2, 2025 and is required for the 2024 FERC Form No. 60 that is due on May 1, 2025.
2025 Taxonomy Delayed Until 2026 Filing
The Version 2025-04-01 taxonomies (published March 27, 2025) were removed because they included updates that do not apply to the 2024 Form No. 60. Version 2025-04-01 and the Order No. 898 updates will be made available for the 2025 FERC Form No. 60 annual filings due on May 1, 2026.
Other FERC Form Taxonomies Remain Available
