FERC adopts consent agenda including NERC extreme‑temperature standard; commissioner participation noted
Summary
The commission voted on a consent agenda covering Items E1–E17, approving a package of orders that includes launching the Section 206 colocation docket (E1) and approving a NERC standard for extreme temperature events (E10); Commissioner Chang did not participate in E1 and E15, and Commissioner Phillips filed a concurrence on E8.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission took a roll‑call vote on its electric consent agenda, approving Items E1 through E17 with recorded individual votes and two participation notes.
The secretary read the consent agenda and noted that Commissioner Chang would not participate in Items E1 and E15 and that Commissioner Phillips would file a separate concurrence on Item E8. During the roll call, Commissioners Seay, Rosner, Phillips and Chairman Christie recorded affirmative votes on the consent package; Commissioner Chang said, "Aside from items E1 and E15, I vote yes." The secretary concluded that the items for discussion were complete.
Among the items on the consent list, commissioners discussed E10, which approves a new NERC standard focused on extreme temperature events for transmission planning. Commissioner Rosner and others described the standard as a step to help grid operators anticipate and prepare for extreme heat and cold. Commissioner Jones also highlighted the connections to prior Commission work (Order 896) and to protecting the bulk power system during severe temperature swings.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records a majority affirmative vote on the consent agenda; Commissioner Chang did not participate in E1 and E15 and Commissioner Phillips recorded a concurrence on E8. The meeting transcript does not specify separate recorded tallies for each individual consent item beyond the roll‑call statements on the record at the meeting.
Provenance: vote and participation notes appear in the secretary’s readout and roll call (SEG 565–SEG 593); E10 discussion appears earlier in the meeting (SEG 343–SEG 351, SEG 490–SEG 513).
