摘要:
The article reports on the works of United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reestablish orders in the interstate electricity or natural gas market thrown into chaos by the California and Enron crises. Part of it is founding the Office of Market Oversight and Investigations (OMOI), which aims to protect customers through understanding markets and their regulation, identifying and fixing market problems, and assuring compliance with Commission rules and regulations. The Energy Policy Act 2005 (EPAct) is an added power for commissions law enforcement, expanding FERC civil penalty authority.
