Dive Brief:
- In the event of a government shutdown, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will maintain a skeletal staff to monitor grid reliability, the agency said in a memo.
- The agency would continue to monitor activity in energy markets but would stop accepting filings from industry and the public and postpone all due dates and deadlines.
Dive Insight:
Operations at the North American Electric Reliability Corp., which monitors the bulk power system, would not be affected as it is a not-for-profit entity overseen by FERC.
