I haven't seen text yet: By Mrs. SHAHEEN (for herself and Mr. Franken): S... 3012. A bill to amend the Federal Power Act to establish an Office of Public Participation and Consumer Advocacy; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. ·································~ • House floor colloquy from early Energy & Water approps debate on Tuesday night: Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I rise for a couple reasons. One is to wish my noble brother well back home. The other is to yield to the gentlewoman from New Hampshire (Ms. Kuster) to enter into a colloquy. 1 Ms. KUSTER. Madam Chair, I thank Ranking Member Kaptur. I rise today to speak about the importance of the funding of the Office of Public Participation within the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, known fondly to us as the FERC, an office that has never been active despite prior authorization~ With the expansion of natural gas infrastructure in the Northeast and across the country, it makes sense that we finally fund the Office of Public Participation to better incorporate the voices of average citizens in FERC proceedings and provide robust outreach efforts to communities and individuals that are impacted by energy projects. Considering the broad authority that the FERC has over domestic energy markets and its control over the approval of energy infrastructure projects, average citizens simply do not have a sufficient public interest presence on the national level. With 27 States offering an existing consumer advocacy office, it is imperative that a similar national office be established within the FERC. Constituents in my home State of New Hampshire are all too familiar with feeling shut out of the FERC process. The recently withdrawn Northeast Energy Direct natural gas pipeline would have impacted 18 small towns across my district and into the neighboring district. Due in large part to the organizing efforts of citizens within these small towns, the NED pipeline's application within FERC was withdrawn this week, but this reality provides only momentary comfort because we all know that the FERC is in serious need of repair. I understand that my Republican colleagues have interest in working to bring the Office of Public Participation to fruition and in making additional structural changes to the FERC. I look forward to working closely with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to move this effort forward. Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I would commit to working with the very able gentlewoman from New Hampshire to see what progress we could make on this very important issue. Mr. SIMPSON. Will the gentlewoman yield? Ms. KAPTUR. I yield to the gentleman from Idaho. Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Chair, I look forward to working with the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), the ranking member, and our colleagues on the Committee on Energy and Commerce to see if we can find an appropriate path forward on this issue. Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Gibson).

As discussed, I'll schedule you to speak either on Thursday afternoon (8/6) or Friday morning (8/7). I'll be in touch over the next few weeks to solidify these plans. If you have a preference on these dates, please let me know as soon as possible. Very happy to have you on board! Here's the language that we've used in the past to describe your session. Please let me know if you'd like any changes. FERC Policy Update The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), independently regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil; it has an important role as the nation is experiencing significant changes in the energy industry. Industry change is driven by many factors, including the increased availability of domestic natural gas; the growth in renewable, demand-side and storage technologies; and new environmental requirements. FERC is helping to guide the required adaptation of nation's energy infrastructure and energy markets to ensure that consumers have access to reliable, efficient and sustainable energy at a reasonable cost. This presentation will provide a broad overview of the current and developing issues at the FERC. Additionally, in a few weeks EEI follow up with a formal confirmation letter containing finalized information on presentation title and time, logistics, attire, hotel, etc. Sessions usually run approximately 45-55 minutes, including Q&A. Though you're already familiar with the school, attaching last year's agenda for your reference. Much of the programming will be the same, but the cast of speakers will be all new.

Bay Commissioner Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426 Dear Commissioner Bay: Thank you for taking the time to meet with us last week to discuss the concerns that the members of the undersigned national energy trade associations have with respect to price formation issues in the energy and ancillary service markets operated by Regional Transmission Operators ("RTOs") and Independent System Operators ("ISOs"). We appreciate the Commission holding workshops last year and would encourage the Commission to continue to focus on this issue as accurate price formation is a critical component of maintaining reliability and resource adequacy going forward. Recognizing that the existing market rules in each RTO and ISO have been developed to address the issues and concerns in that region, the undersigned would request that the Commission direct each ISO/RTO to consult with their stakeholders to develop and submit a plan to the Commission by a date certain. The plan should detail how current market rules and practices support accurate dispatch-based pricing and commitment while increasing transparency and limiting out-ofmarket payments. The plan should identify concrete steps to change market rules and practices as necessary to support the principles and establish a timeframe for implementation. There should be periodic reporting to allow the Commission to monitor timely implementation of the plan put forth by each RTO and ISO. Expected power plant shutdowns add additional urgency to this issue and provides timeframes within which the Commission may want to act. The process described herein will emphasize the Commission's interest, focus and sense of urgency on these issues and ensure that RTOs and lSOs continue to address these issues. Thank you for your interest and focus on these important issues. We look forward to continuing to work with you and your staff. Sincerely, Thomas R.

I am also making plans to attend the CEO Conference in January. I have one thought on the conference that I want to raise with you. A few years ago, a classified briefing was presented to the CEOs on cybersecurity issues. Would it be helpful to them to receive an update? I know the CEOs in the ESCC are plugged into the classified world, but the nature of the threat evolves so quickly that it might be helpful for other CEOs to hear the briefing for themselves. I have not reached out to DOE but I would bet that they would be supportive. We would also have to check with the FBI to see if we could use their SCIF (and how many people it could accommodate) and if one-day security clearances could be obtained by early January. I also don't know if the schedule for the conference has been set. From my perspective, I have also enjoyed getting to know you and working with you. In fact, I wish we had met earlier!

What were the dominant political forces in driving the winning strategy for the White House and the control of Congress? Who won, and who lost? What will the 2017 political makeup mean for resolution of fundamental questions affecting the US economy, such as tax reform and deficit reduction? What will be the legislative priorities for the new Congress, and how will they affect energy interests? 2 Moderator: Commissioner TBD Opening Keynote: Energy Transition Team Representative for President-elect Donald J.

' , ' Introduction: The general public demands that the electric power industry provide service that is reliable, affordable, clean, safe, and resilient. But responsibility for overseeing energy resource development has become diffuse and unclear. A series of federal court decisions -- aimed at clarifying the lines of jurisdiction between states and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission over generation and demand response have instead made an existing complex planning process even more uncertain for the future. In addition, price competition in generation markets, and environmental policies, have resulted in favoring natural gas generation over coal and nuclear energy, placing stress points on reliability and increasing the need for gas infrastructure. Against this uncertain environment, how should policy makers respond?

Jim Cheryl LaFleur Re: You Monday, January 11, 2016 7:50:27 PM Cheryl, Thanks for the note and the kind words. I agree that I am not old enough to retire (and my wife doesn't want me hanging around). So I plan to keep working in the industry somewhere. But I decided it was time for something new after 14 years at EEL David and Tom were pretty surprised when I told them a year ago. By EEI standards (e.g. Ed Comer has been here over 30 years) I am just getting started. I have enjoyed working through reliability issues with you over the years. Hopefully we made some progress. I'm sure I will see you before I leave in March. Jim On Jan 11, 2016, at 3:07 PM, Cheryl Lafleur wrote: Jim I just heard that you will be retiring from EEi in the next few months.

After 35 years at EEi, I decided it is time to make the change and I am excited about it - more travel and more biking. Post retirement, I will be looking for a part-time involvement in industry issues, perhaps serving on a Board of an RTO/ISO or NERC related organization, where I can use my expertise. The advantage of being at EEi is that I have no stock programs to compromise my independence. I have also thought of teaching energy law, which I have found to be fun the times I was a guest lecturer. I am sorry we missed Aspen as well. Emily found it very informative - as it always has been. Joan and I planned our trip to Northern Europe in the expectation that Aspen would continue to meet after the 4th of July, but were wrong on that and it was not possible to change our plans. I am glad you got to meet Emily, who I am confident will do a superb job after I am gone. She also will be spending more time at FERC on behalf of EEi. kjl still have 6 months to go and will be sure to see you in that time, but we will certainly keep you on the goodbye event planning list. Again, thanks for the kind words.

I just got back from the Aspen Energy Summit and heard from Emily Fisher that you will be retiring from EEi at the end of the year. To use an overused cliche, that will truly be the end of an era. You were the person I most closely associated with EEi from my very first contact with them "'1990. I am very happy that we have had the opportunity to reconnect since I have been in DC. I hope and trust that everyone there appreciates how enormous your contributions have been. Your good judgment and good humor have guided your members through too many legal issues to count.

But responsibility for overseeing energy resource development has become diffuse and unclear. A series of federal court decisions -- aimed at clarifying the lines of jurisdiction between states and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission over generation and demand response -have instead made an existing complex planning process even more uncertain for the future. In addition, price competition in generation markets, and environmental policies, have resulted in favoring natural gas generation over coal and nuclear energy, placing stress points on reliability and increasing the need for gas infrastructure. Against this uncertain environment, how should policy makers respond?

They are also being challenged by increased penetration of renewables, leading to a · t change in the resource mix, yet are being tasked with maintaining reliability.

States and electric power companies are · ''forward with efforts to reduce carbon emissions, even as the CPP likely remains in legal limbo ghoul 2017. For example, there is growing interest in whether EPA could utilize section 115 of the Clean Air Act to allow for economy-wide approaches to GHG reductions instead of the current sector-bysector approach. In addition, states are moving forward on carbon reduction plans, as evidenced by Washington's ongoing consideration of both new carbon trading rules and a potential carbon tax. Colorado also is considering a new carbon reduction program, and California, Minnesota and Pennsylvania all have submitted or developed state plans to comply with the CPP. How will these various trends impact state energy and climate policy planning in 2017, and how should policy makers take them into account? To what extent will various stakeholders seek the most optimal pathways for achieving decarbonization to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement? And will the new Congress engage? This panel will provide strategic insights into how electric utilities and state planners can address these challenges. 4 Moderator: Commissioner TBD Panelists: Alexandra Dapolito Dunn (invited) Executive Director & General Counsel Environmental Council of the States Environmental Regulator Financial Community Representative Lead Respondent: TBD 4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Perspectives for the Day Moderator: TBD 5:00 p.m. Adjourn for the Day 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Reception and Dinner Morton's The Steakhouse 1200 Brickell Avenue (across 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. 8:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. 8:00 a.m. - 9:3l);a:m. · n: The ·. try is moving towards a more digital, distributed, and integrated grid.
