Public Power Magazine
The American Public Power Association (APPA) featured FMPA in the July-August 2025 issue of Public Power Magazine. The article, titled “Doing More Together: An Expanded Role for Joint Action,” discusses how the Agency has expanded its Member Services offerings and opportunities for joint action agencies to grow in their collaborations.
New FERC Commissioner Nominated
President Trump nominated David LaCerte to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) last week. If confirmed, he will serve the remainder of Commissioner Willie Phillips’s term, which ends June 30, 2026. LaCerte currently serves as the principal White House liaison and senior adviser to the director of the Office of Personnel Management.
June All-Requirements Project Rates
The average billed demand and energy cost for FMPA’s All-Requirements Project in June was $67/MWh, which was 2% above the budgeted cost. The all-in rate was $2/MWh higher from prior month projections due to higher sales, transmission true-up, and slightly lower cash position than forecasted. Pool and third-party sales were 17% above budget. The Rate Protection Account balance on June 30 was approximately $4.3M, down from prior month. The agenda package from the ARP Rate Workshop is available via the Portal. Contact: Denise Fuentes
