Complete your FERC filing in minutes using our highly automated solution.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), is an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, oil and service companies in the US.
On June 20, 2019, the commission adopted XBRL or eXtensible Business Reporting Language as its preferred format to receive annual and quarterly reports. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is revising its electronic filing format to make it easier for filers to submit in XBRL which will help increase efficiency in regulatory filings and processing of business information, further enhancing transparency and decreasing the costs over time. XBRL will enhance system compatibility and security and allow efficient sharing of data across different information systems.
Starting in November 2021, energy companies reporting to the U.S. FERC are required to file select annual and quarterly reports in XBRL replacing the current PDF-based forms.
FERC will adopt the XBRL standard for all filers submitting Forms 1, 1-F, 2, 2-A, 3-Q, 6, 6-Q, 60, and 714, starting in November 2021 and EQR XBRL reporting via XBRL CSV starting from January 2025.
