Project-Area Wage Standards in the Labor Cost Component of Cost-of-Service Rates
Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission — observed across 2 documents over 153 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.
In plain English
The federal energy regulator now requires natural gas and power companies to pay workers according to local prevailing wage rates when calculating service costs, instead of using national averages. If you bid on pipeline, hydroelectric, or utility construction projects, you'll need to pay prevailing wages set by each local area, which will increase your labor costs and bid prices.
