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.

NERC stakeholders debated whether they should be concerned over potential opposition to a requirement that generators provide frequency response service.

An analysis by Eastern RTOs and utilities has found no advantages to changing how they measure primary frequency response.

The NERC Standards Committee postponed APS' request to amend the Disturbance Control Standard after members wanted to add justification for its rejection.
