Summary

FERC issued an order on April 3, 2026, in Docket No. EL26-50-000 instituting a Section 206 investigation under the Federal Power Act to examine whether New Brunswick Energy Marketing Corporation's market-based rate authority remains just and reasonable. The refund effective date is set to the date of Federal Register publication. Interested parties have 21 days from the order issuance to file interventions.

What changed

FERC initiated a formal Section 206 investigation to evaluate whether New Brunswick Energy Marketing Corporation continues to satisfy the requirements for market-based rate authority under the Federal Power Act. The investigation centers on whether the rates, terms, and conditions of service remain just and reasonable without traditional cost-of-service regulation.

Energy companies and market participants with similar market-based rate authorizations should monitor this proceeding closely, as FERC's findings could signal heightened scrutiny of market-based rate approvals. Intervention filings are due within 21 days of the April 3 order issuance, and failure to participate may limit ability to influence the outcome. Entities should review their own market-based rate compliance programs in light of potential precedential implications from this investigation.

What to do next

  1. File notice of intervention or motion to intervene with FERC within 21 days of April 3, 2026
  2. Submit comments or protests if desired
  3. Monitor for subsequent FERC orders in Docket No. EL26-50-000
