EEI and OATI have asked FERC to clarify its order requiring public utilities to adopt NAESB's Standards for Business Practices and Communication Protocols.

FERC adopted NAESB's business practice and communication protocols as mandatory requirements for public utilities to increase grid efficiency.

FERC proposed adopting the North American Energy Standards Board’s Standards for Business Practices and Communication Protocols for Public Utilities.

The three-day NAES-NERC conference touched on EPA’s replacement for the Clean Power Plan, the debate over grid resilience and cybersecurity.

NYISO achieved a wind energy record of 1,574 MW at around noon on March 2, representing 9% of the state’s power generation.

The electric and natural gas industries remain divided over the start of the gas day, nine months after FERC proposed changing the start time from 9 a.m. CT to 4 a.m. CT.

FERC approved actions on four standards and policies proposed by NERC and NAESB.

FERC approved NERC reliability rules on geomagnetic disturbances, personnel training and capacity modeling.

FERC has set a six-month deadline for the natural gas and electric industries to better align their daily schedules, in order for the gas operating day to start earlier.

Natural gas pipelines will move their nominating schedules later in the day, and PJM will move its Day Ahead schedule forward enhancing gas electric coordination.
