Energy Secretary Rick Perry on Friday ordered FERC to rescue at-risk nuclear and coal generation by ensuring they receive “full recovery” of their costs.

The term "resilience" can mean many different things to different sectors, as discussions at PJM's Grid 20/20 conference demonstrated.

FERC approved several NERC reliability standards and proposed a rulemaking regarding emergency procedures.

CAISO is close to finalizing a long-running effort to reduce exceptional dispatch of generation to resolve transmission constraints.

NERC staff told SPP’s registered entities they have until Oct. 31 to submit their transfer requests to another Regional Entity.

The U.S. Energy Department’s study acknowledges its limited authority over wholesale markets, leaving it to FERC and RTOs to act on its recommendations.

NERC will host a webinar Aug. 25 to help the current members of SPP’s Regional Entity transition to new compliance authorities.

A NERC official told MISO that recommendations to utilities for restoring power after the loss of normal communication are unlikely to become binding.

SPP announced it will dissolve its Regional Entity, in part because of the expansion of its RTO footprint, which no longer aligns with the RE’s territory.

Terry Brinker, president of Reliable Energy Advisors and former NERC official, argues for cooperation to integrate distributed energy resources (DER).
