🇬🇧 English

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) published a combined notice of regulatory filings received on March 27–30, 2026, covering one exempt wholesale generator certification and approximately 40 electric rate filings from utilities, independent power producers, and grid operators across the United States. The most significant cluster involves 14 Pennsylvania-based power plants (Shawville, New Castle, Brunot Island, Gilbert, Portland, Warren, Mountain, Orrtanna, Shawnee, Titus, Hamilton, Blossburg, Hunterstown, and Tolna Power) each filing compliance notices of an upstream transfer of ownership under existing ER19-series dockets. Separately, four Covanta facilities rebranded as 'Reworld' entities (Delaware Valley, Essex, Fairfax, and Plymouth) filed informational notices regarding a transfer of control, requesting waiver and expedited action. Five RWE Clean Energy-affiliated entities filed tariff amendments to adjust effective dates to 12/31/9998 (a placeholder indicating indefinite/suspended effectiveness). ISO New England filed proposed tariff revisions to its rules governing Distributed Energy Resource (DER) participation, effective May 29, 2026. Deer Creek Solar I LLC filed both an exempt wholesale generator self-certification and an initial market-based rate application effective April 1, 2026. All parties wishing to intervene or protest must do so by 5:00 p.m. ET on the respective comment dates (April 17 or April 20, 2026), in accordance with 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214, or 385.206. Filings are accessible via FERC's eLibrary system.
