Why Use a FERC Compliance Checklist?
This checklist gives renewable energy teams a clear, actionable structure to:
- Track regulatory tasks across assets, markets, and jurisdictions
- Assign ownership and deadlines to interconnection, tariff, and reporting obligations
- Centralize filings, certifications, and supporting documents for FERC audits
- Reduce risk of non-compliance and improve project readiness
How to Use the FERC Compliance Checklist
This ready-to-deploy checklist is built to align with core FERC obligations relevant to utility-scale wind, solar, hydro, and storage projects. It can be used as-is or tailored to your specific project types, markets (e.g., PJM, CAISO), or ownership structures. Use it to monitor task status, attach evidence, and stay ahead of audit deadlines.
What Will You Get?
The checklist includes structured sections for:
- Interconnection and transmission approvals
- Market-based rate filings and EQR submissions
- QF (Qualifying Facility) certification and PURPA compliance
- Hydro licensing (if applicable)
- Documentation and audit trail management
- Post-commissioning reporting and audit readiness
- Guidance on assigning controls, collecting evidence, and mapping tasks to regulatory obligations
With this checklist, your team can move from reactive compliance to proactive control — while staying prepared for FERC audits, inquiries, or reporting deadlines.
