Blanket Certificate Cost Limitations
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is proposing new rules to limit how much companies can charge for blanket certificates, which are permits that allow businesses to conduct certain energy-related activities without getting individual approval for each project. This change aims to make the permitting process more affordable and faster for companies while protecting consumers from excessive fees.
