Dive Brief:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioners shot down a number of agenda items proposed by Chair James Danly on Tuesday in what stakeholders called an abnormal meeting.
The meeting marked Danly's last as head of FERC, and led to the rejection of several gas infrastructure projects, the dismissal of a proposal that would have expanded the Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) in the New York Independent System Operator's (NYISO) territory, and the partial rejection of a request for rehearing clarification on the MOPR expansion in the PJM Interconnection. "This meeting is not normal," said Gillian Giannetti, an attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council's Sustainable FERC Project, in a tweet. "You don't put orders on the Sunshine notice that will fail."
