The Organization of MISO States is warning NERC that its possible new resource adequacy standard would tread on states’ planning authority.

NERC's Member Representatives Committee heard progress reports from the groups developing updates to its standards development process and strategic plan.

FERC approved the ERO's business plans and budgets, along with a waiver to NERC's rules around use of penalty funds.

NERC has filed five reliability standards to FERC, comprising the second of three sets of standards for inverter-based resources ordered by the commission.

FERC approved settlements with three utilities in the footprints of SERC Reliability and ReliabilityFirst, totaling $185,000 in penalties.

FERC staff warned in a report that third-party cloud services pose an ongoing risk to the security of the electric grid.

NERC's Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures Task Force released a set of draft recommendations to update the ERO's standards development process.
