FERC staff has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for Kinder Morgan's Sierrita Pipeline project, which would deliver natural gas…

A notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) issued by FERC last week that would, among other things, start the gas day at 4 a.m. central clock time (CCT) instead of the current 9 a.m. has quickly become a 'lightning rod," but changes to the current system are inevitable, and the earlier start time isn't non-negotiable, according to Acting Chairman Cheryl LaFleur.

The Energy & Environment Legal Institute (E&E) has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in which it claims FERC has refused to release documents in response to an October 2013 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request related to alleged maneuvering by former Chairman Jon Wellinghoff to have Norman Bay, President Obama's nominee to head the Commission, follow him to that position.

The size and complexity of the Constitution Pipeline and Wright Interconnect projects has prompted the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ask FERC to extend the comment period for the associated draft environmental impact statement (DEIS).

The multiple polar vortices and stubbornly cold weather that has dominated winter weather this year will have another impact even as temperatures turn warmer: higher bills for natural gas and electric utility customers.

The 2014 Atlantic Hurricane season is likely to be less active than normal, producing fewer powerful storms than average and bringing below-normal risk to the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and Caribbean Sea, according to an early forecast from Houston-based ImpactWeather.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight in a letter released Friday said it would provide no-action relief from certain requirements in the exception from the definition of the term "swap dealer," a decision that excludes utility operations-related swaps from the calculation of the de minimis threshold.

Unusually cold weather that has had a grip on the Northeast for much of the 2013-2014 winter will be replaced by warmer-than-normal temperatures beginning in May, but colder-than-normal weather may persist in the Southeast and Great Lakes areas, according to forecasters at Weather Services International (WSI).
