Summary
Chair Rosner said gas–electric coordination is complex and evolving; he plans to review comments on recent work and to collaborate with NARUC, state commissioners and NERC as the commission moves forward.
Reporters asked whether gas–electric coordination is a perennial problem and what further work FERC might undertake. Tom Tiernan (Energy Daily) referenced a proposed rule identified in the transcript and asked about next steps for FERC.
Rosner said, “Natural gas and electric coordination is a very important issue…it’s something that this commission has spent decades on,” and that he looks forward to reviewing comments on recent work. He said he expects to work with the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), state commissioners and other industry partners; he also noted the topic is slated for an upcoming reliability-conference agenda.
A follow-up question asked whether the problem is ever fully solvable given the differences between the industries. Rosner described the work as “constantly evolving” and emphasized durable, smart solutions developed with NERC and industry experts.
The exchange underscores that FERC views gas–electric coordination as an ongoing regulatory priority that will require continuing attention and cross-jurisdictional collaboration.
