Chairs Rodgers and Duncan Announce FERC Budget and Oversight Hearing

Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) announced a hearing titled “The Fiscal Year 2025 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Budget.” 

“Energy is foundational to everything we do. It’s what keeps the lights on, heats our homes, and powers our hospitals and businesses. It has raised our standard of living, driven technological innovation, and improved the health and wellbeing of all Americans. Unfortunately, recent actions taken by the Biden administration are threatening to shutter critical baseload energy sources and replace them with less reliable, more expensive, weather dependent generation. Americans are paying the price," said Chairs Rodgers and Duncan. "We look forward to having the full Commission, including recently sworn in Commissioners Rosner, See, and Chang, present for this important hearing. FERC plays a key role in ensuring Americans have access to affordable, reliable energy, and we look forward to discussing with the Chairman and Commissioners how the agency can continue fulfilling its core mission and furthering America's energy leadership.” 

Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, & Grid Security hearing titled “The Fiscal Year 2025 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Budget.”
