FERC and NERCOpenPages Assists Utilities as They Comply with FERC and NERC RegulationsEven in the wake of sweeping deregulation of the energy industry, few companies face as much government oversight as utilities. Power generation and distribution companies are subject to a maze of regulatory oversight, including state agencies and the federal agencies, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). FERC Expands Oversight of UtilitiesIn addition, with the 2005 repeal of the Public Utilities Holding Companies Act (PUHCA), utilities have increased freedom to engage in mergers and acquisitions that span state borders. As a result, FERC has expanded its authority to access the books and records of public utilities, leading to a strong requirement for transparency and control.
