NERC's Standards Committee welcomed new members to its executive committee, while taking action on several standards projects.

Offshore wind will produce thousands of megawatts of electric power, way more than the onshore transmission system is currently able to absorb, an expert says.

At FERC’s annual reliability technical conference, commissioners focused on work needed to prepare the bulk power system for rapidly developing challenges.

At its first in-person meeting in more than two years, NERC's Standards Committee approved two action items related to EMT modeling and frequency response.

FERC last week approved penalties against utilities in the footprints of ReliabilityFirst, MRO, and WECC for violations of NERC reliability standards.

FERC gave final approval Thursday for NERC and WECC to introduce regional reliability standard BAL-002-WECC-3.

FERC gave WECC the go-ahead to introduce a new version of its reliability standard regarding contingency reserves.

System operators in WECC were too quick to declare energy emergency alerts during recent events, resulting in unnecessary load sheds, according to NERC.

The team working on NERC’s proposed standard for cold weather preparedness plans to meet again to finish working through the latest round of comments.

The Standards Committee approved the posting of a report recommending new evidence retention rules and rejected a SAR on frequency response.
