Energy Regulators Abandon Requiring People Tell The Truth
Published Date: 11/25/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decided to stop a proposed rule that would have required anyone talking to them to always tell the truth and not leave out important facts. This means no new rule is coming, and no one has to change how they share info with FERC right now. The proposal is officially withdrawn as of November 25, 2025, so no new costs or deadlines are involved.
