At the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”), President Joseph Biden selected Richard Glick, one of two Democratic commissioners on the five person commission, as Chairman. The Chair sets FERC’s agenda, so even without a tie-breaker vote or a majority of Democratic Commissioners (the situation until one of the Republican Commissioners departs), Chairman Glick will have significant influence over FERC policy for 2021. As is most relevant for
Sustainability Bulletin readers, FERC covered a lot of ground on renewables issues in 2020 and we expect more of the same for 2021. Chairman Glick’s dissents in 2019 and 2020 provide a roadmap for what we may see from FERC on renewables issues in 2021 and beyond. Below, we highlight a few material FERC renewables developments in 2020 and look ahead to possible developments in FERC’s approach when similar issues queue up before FERC in 2021

MPSC releases guidance on implementation of PURPA after Federal Energy Regulatory Commission s Order 872
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 21, 2021
Customer Assistance: 800-292-9555
The Michigan Public Service Commission today provided guidance on how it plans to adjust its implementation of the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) in the wake of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s issuance of Order 872 in 2020 (Case No. U-20905).
The Commission in October requested comments from interested parties on how Order 872 impacts the MPSC’s implementation of PURPA, a federal law created amid the 1970s national energy crisis to encourage competition, conservation, reliability and efficiency in generating and delivering electricity. PURPA, which is largely carried out by states, encourages the integration of electricity generation from smaller renewable energy and cogeneration qualifying facilities, or QFs, to achieve diversity, reliabili

[2]. The Final Rule slightly amends the underlying
proposed rule, issued on October 15, 2020 and discussed in greater detail
here, in response to comments that the proposed rule would have applied to an overly-narrow subset of fuel cell technologies. In the Final Rule, the Commission approved a broad definition of fuel cell systems that may satisfy QF standards: “all fuel cells that use waste heat in an integrated fuel reforming process” may attain QF status as cogeneration QFs, as long as they satisfy other relevant QF requirements.
