The mission of #OPP is to empower, promote, and support public voices in #FERC proceedings. But what exactly do we do? And just as importantly, what don’t we do?

Knowing the difference can help you understand how OPP can best support your participation in energy matters before the Commission. 💡🔌

In extreme cases, congestion can also lead to emergency calls for the public to conserve energy or even power outages.

For example, on a very hot day, congestion may prevent power from flowing along a certain path to residents and business with heavy air conditioning loads. This can in turn cause higher electricity prices, as you may have to call on additional, more expensive resources that can meet the demand.

FERC Term of the Week! “Transmission Congestion": Congestion happens when demand for electricity transmission is greater than the physical limits of the transmission grid in an area.

FERC Term of the Week! “Cost Containment”: In the context of electricity transmission development, cost containment refers to commitments by a transmission developer to keep a project’s costs within agreed limits. These commitments can include caps on total project cost, limits on profit, or requirements to share savings with customers if costs come in lower than expected.
