The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Monday upholding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) authority to regulate demand response (DR) programs in wholesale markets. 

In a 6-2 decision, the justices ruled the agency was within its authority under the Federal Power Act when it issued Order 745, which set standards for demand response practices and pricing in wholesale markets and brought the practice under the agency's jurisdiction.
