The FERC also announced that the XBRL taxonomies, validation rules, and rendering files required to file the FERC Forms needed for the FERC XBRL launch will be updated to Release 1.5. on April 15, 2021. This measure was set forth in the July 17, 2020 Order on Technical Conference. The updated taxonomies will be accessible in the Yeti viewer, and the updated validation rules and rendering files will be available via FERC’s eForms Refresh webpage. The current Visual FoxPro-based system will no longer be available for filings submitted after September 30, 2021. As indicated on the eForms portal, all FERC form filings and refilings must be made using the appropriate taxonomies, validation rules, and rendering files for the relevant form.

Novaworks will soon be launching its own solution to the FERC XBRL mandate entitled XBRLworks. This cloud-based application will create compliant XBRL filings behind-the-scenes while you work with simple web-based forms, powerful import functions, and intuitive collaboration tools.
