On March 19, 2026, the Commission issued Order No. 917,^[1] which adopts eXtensible Business Reporting Language-Comma-Separated Values as the standard for filing the Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) and modifies and clarifies EQR reporting requirements. Among other things, Order No. 917 set forth that, as of the May 26, 2026 effective date of the final rule, the Commission will no longer require reporting of information about transmission capacity reassignments, index price publisher(s) and exchange/brokerage services in the EQR.^[2] In addition, Order No. 917 stated that the additional process contemplated in the final rule, including a future technical conference(s), will inform the compliance timeline.^[3]

To help inform filers about how to implement the initial changes to the EQR reporting requirements set forth in Order No. 917, Commission staff has developed a new web page with filing guidance.^[4] Going forward, this web page will also help inform filers and other interested parties of future changes to the EQR filing process and reporting requirements under Order No. 917.
