Members of NERC’s Performance Analysis Subcommittee questioned the exclusion of severe weather events from the ERO's annual State of Reliability report.

NERC has requested FERC delay the implementation of several reliability standards that are scheduled to take effect this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bob Cummings, NERC’s senior director of engineering and reliability initiatives, has retired from the organization after 24 years, NERC said.

FERC has extended the implementation deadline for the latest version of NAESB's standards to July 27, 2021, at the request of SPP and MISO.

NERC is confident the electric industry is “taking aggressive steps to confront” the COVID-19 pandemic, based on responses to its recent Level 2 alert.

The FCC has scheduled a vote for its April 23 open meeting on draft rules that would open the 6-GHz wireless spectrum to unlicensed users.

FERC granted NERC another extension on the deadline for two compliance filings so the organization can focus on its response to COVID-19.

Bruce Scherr, a former NERC vice chair and member of SPP’s Board of Directors, died on March 29.
