DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD15–4–000] 

Technical Conference on 

Environmental Regulations and 

Electric Reliability, Wholesale 

Electricity Markets, and Energy 

Infrastructure; Notice of Technical 

Conferences 

Take notice that the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

will hold a series of technical 

conferences to discuss implications of 

compliance approaches to the Clean 

Power Plan proposed rule, issued by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

on June 2, 2014.1 In particular, the 

technical conferences will focus on 

issues related to electric reliability, 

wholesale electric markets and 

operations, and energy infrastructure. 

The Commission will hold a National 

Overview technical conference on 

February 19, 2015, from approximately 

9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the 

Commission Meeting Room at the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 

20426. Following the National Overview 

technical conference, the Commission 

will hold three regional technical 

conferences, on dates to be announced, 

in the following cities: 

Eastern Region,2 Washington, DC Central Region,3 St. Louis, MO 

Western Region,4 Denver, CO 

The National Overview technical 

conference will be Commission-led. The 

regional technical conferences will be 

staff-led. Commission members may 

participate in the regional technical 

conferences. 

State, regional and/or federal plans for 

compliance with the proposed Clean 

Power Plan may impact FERCjurisdictional markets, grid operations, 

and infrastructure. The technical 

conferences will provide a forum for 

interested persons to discuss how to 

address any issues concerning the 

reliability of the power grid and the 

efficient operation of wholesale electric 

markets that may arise in the context of 

potential state and regional compliance 

approaches to EPA’s Clean Power Plan. 

Additionally, the technical conferences 

will provide an opportunity to discuss 

how compliance scenarios may impact 

existing infrastructure and drive the 

need for additional infrastructure, 

especially new electric transmission and 

natural gas pipeline facilities, and 

whether there are regulatory barriers 

that need to be addressed, and by 

whom, to ensure the timely 

development of those facilities. 

The National Overview technical 

conference will include discussion of 

the following overarching topics: (1) 

Whether industry participants (state 

utility and environmental regulators, 

regulated entities, etc.) have the 

appropriate tools to identify reliability 

and/or market issues that may arise; (2) 

potential strategies for compliance with 

the EPA regulations and coordination 

with FERC-jurisdictional wholesale and 

interstate markets; and (3) how relevant 

planning entities, industry, and states 

coordinate reliability and infrastructure 

planning processes with state and/or 

regional environmental compliance 

efforts to ensure the adequate 

development of new infrastructure and 

to manage any potential reliability and 

operational impacts of proposed 

compliance plans. 

Each of the three regional conferences 

will include discussion of the following 

topics: (1) Potential reliability impacts 

in each region under various 

compliance approaches; (2) potential 

impacts on power system operations 

and generator dispatch in each region 

under various compliance approaches; 

and (3) potential impact on each 

region’s current or expected 

infrastructure (electric transmission, 

natural gas pipelines, generation, etc.) to 

address compliance with the proposed 

rule, and additional infrastructure that 

may be required. 

Subsequent notices will be issued 

detailing the specific agenda and topics
