Questions this page answers
Does FERC license retail energy brokers in every state?
No. Many retail electricity/gas broker licenses are state PUC/utility-commission paths. FERC focuses on interstate/wholesale layers.
Is FERC the same as DOE?
No. DOE (energy.gov) is the cabinet department; FERC is an independent commission. See also /usa/agencies/energy/.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
