Energy Regulatory Alerts — EIA & FERC News Monitor

Monitor energy regulatory news from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Get policy updates, market analysis, rulings, and industry news — parsed from official RSS feeds into structured JSON for energy sector compliance and intelligence.

What data can you get?

EIA Today in Energy — The EIA's daily analysis of energy markets, trends, and data. Covers oil, natural gas, electricity, coal, renewables, and energy forecasts. Each article includes the title, summary, publication date, and direct link.

FERC News Releases — Official FERC announcements on pipeline approvals, rate cases, enforcement actions, market manipulation, and power market rules. Critical for companies regulated by FERC or operating in energy markets.

Use cases

• Energy trading desks — Monitor regulatory news that could move natural gas, electricity, or oil markets
• Utility compliance — Track FERC rulings and policy changes affecting your operations
• Renewable energy companies — Monitor EIA reports on solar, wind, and battery storage trends
• Energy investors — Stay current on policy changes, production forecasts, and market analysis
• Environmental consultants — Track regulatory developments for clients in the energy sector
• Law firms — Monitor FERC enforcement actions and rate case decisions

How to use

1. Optionally set keywords (e.g., ["solar", "natural gas", "wind energy"]) to filter articles
2. Set since to limit to recent publications
3. Run the actor and get structured news data from both sources

Example input

{
  "keywords": ["solar", "natural gas", "wind energy"],

Data sources

• EIA Today in Energy — US Energy Information Administration daily analysis
• FERC News Releases — Federal Energy Regulatory Commission official announcements
• Data refreshed in real-time with every run via RSS feeds

Note: FERC RSS may occasionally be unavailable due to Cloudflare protection. When this happens, the actor gracefully returns EIA data only.

Pricing

Pay-per-event pricing. You only pay for what you use:

• $0.50 per actor start
• $0.0025 per article/alert

Example: Fetching 100 recent energy articles costs $0.50 + $0.25 = $0.75 total.

Integrations

Works with all Apify integrations: webhooks, API, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and more. Schedule daily runs for continuous energy news monitoring.

Tips

• Schedule daily runs to stay current. EIA publishes new "Today in Energy" articles almost every weekday, and FERC releases announcements throughout the week.
• Use energy-specific keywords like ["LNG export", "interconnection queue", "capacity market"] for targeted intelligence rather than broad terms.
• Combine with price data feeds for a complete energy intelligence pipeline. Pair regulatory news with actual market price data to correlate policy changes with price movements.
• Set up Slack alerts via Apify webhooks for breaking regulatory news. FERC enforcement actions and major EIA reports can move energy markets, and early awareness matters.
• Filter by source in post-processing to separate EIA analysis from FERC regulatory actions. EIA articles are analytical, while FERC releases are official regulatory actions.
