FERC Orders

Order 714 — Electronic Tariff Filing (2007)

Definition

Required all FERC-regulated entities to file tariffs electronically in a standardized XML format, replacing paper and PDF submissions with machine-readable structured data that dramatically improved searchability, public accessibility, and regulators' ability to monitor compliance across large volumes of filings. The structured format enabled automated comparison of tariff terms across utilities, making it far easier for market participants to identify inconsistencies and non-compliance. This electronic tariff infrastructure became foundational for transparent, digitally accessible regulation of the wholesale electricity and transmission markets.
