FERC launches refreshed homepage to highlight electricity affordability and reliability
Summary
FERC's Office of External Affairs unveiled a refreshed ferc.gov homepage with interactive maps and reliability metrics (SADI, SAIFI) drawn from EIA data so consumers can view state‑level power costs and reliability information; the page is live.
FERC’s Office of External Affairs demonstrated a refreshed ferc.gov homepage that prominently displays two consumer‑focused metrics: the cost of electricity by state and measures of reliability.
"How affordable is my power? How reliable is my power?" Benjamin Williams said during the demonstration, describing an interactive map that uses Energy Information Administration data to show residential cents per kilowatt‑hour by state (the homepage includes a timeline slider to view past years). Celeste Miller walked commissioners through reliability metrics—System Average Interruption Duration Index (SADI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI)—and examples showing Louisiana’s 2023 SADI and SAIFI values.
The homepage is responsive for mobile and tablet and provides links to underlying state and regional charts that users can explore. Commissioner comments were favorable and described the redesign as a tool to surface information most relevant to consumers: price and reliability.
Next steps: the homepage is live and available to the public on ferc.gov; commissioners encouraged use of the tool in public outreach and stakeholder engagement.
