    The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University submitted a petition to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission asking for a waiver of certain filing requirements for cogeneration facilities from April 16, 2006, onwards. This request seeks a declaratory order and any interested parties wishing to intervene or protest must submit their filings by March 21, 2021. The Commission advises electronic submissions via their website due to in-person restrictions caused by COVID-19.

    Reading Time:about 36 minutes

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has updated its regulations under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. This final rule expands the definition of qualifying cogeneration facilities to include fuel cell systems that use waste heat in a process to produce hydrogen, covering systems beyond just solid oxide fuel cells. The aim is to recognize technological advancements and promote efficient energy generation using fuel cells with integrated steam hydrocarbon reformation processes. This change encourages more efficient energy production and supports the evolving energy landscape while complying with existing environmental and energy conservation laws.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made new rules to say that special clean energy machines, like some fuel cells, can now be used in more ways. These rules help use energy better and help the planet, but it might be tricky to understand who gets to use these new machines.
