Included in tonight’s just signed omnibus bill is an important provision requiring @FERC to submit to Congress a plan to finally establish the Office of Public Participation. I’m happy to see this new Office take a step forward! 1/4
The Office will provide a much-needed addition to @FERC—one that ensures that consumers, landowners, & others that can’t afford expensive legal representation can participate effectively in complex #FERC proceedings that have significant impacts on their lives. 2/4
This new Office will also improve @FERC decisionmaking by providing a voice for environmental justice communities that have too often been overlooked. 3/4
I look forward to working with my @FERC colleagues to ensure that this new Office meets Congress’ objectives. 4/4

@FERC @pjminterconnect .@FERC’s PJM MOPR is a direct attack on state electric generation resource decisionmaking. The Federal Power Act is clear, FERC does not have this authority. FERC has the responsibility to attempt to accommodate state decisions not overturn them.
@FERC @pjminterconnect .@FERC’s PJM MOPR is a bailout--costing consumers BILLIONS of dollars every year. Conservatively, $2.4B+ associated w/ higher capacity payments, rising over time per year, & doesn’t even include the costs consumers will pay when states continue to pursue their policy preferences.
@FERC @pjminterconnect The costs imposed by @FERC’s PJM MOPR & the ubiquitous preferences given to existing resources are a transparent attempt to handicap those state actions & slow – or maybe even stop – the clean energy transition.

I write tonight to express strong reservations about @FERC’s approach to MOPR and state policies. #FERC is approving #CASPR, for all of the wrong reasons! Follow me below into the #TweetStorm
I disagree strongly with the order’s suggestion that state sponsored resources must either be subject to a Minimum Offer Price Rule (#MOPR) or some alternative mechanism for “accommodating” the effects of state public policies.
That rationale—which is not adopted by a majority of the Commissioners that support the order—is ill-conceived, misguided, and a serious threat to consumers, the environment and, in fact, the long-term viability of the Commission’s capacity market construct.
