We’ve included so much information about what we do here at FERC. There are so many different things to learn about and see. You can explore FERC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., see pictures of the oil, hydro and natural gas industries or even play with a map of America. You can play several games on our site including going through a fun maze, doing a word find, or even completing a crossword puzzle.

      We’ve also included links to some other fun energy sites geared specifically for kids just like you. Remember as soon as you click on those links you’ll be going to a new website!

      Come back soon!
