FERC and NERC will conduct yet another inquiry into cold weather grid failures after Duke and TVA cut power to consumers during December's winter storm.

After disastrous hurricane seasons, FPL instituted its “Storm Secure” program in 2006; resulting improvements paid off when Hurricane Ian made landfall.

NERC CEO Jim Robb met with the Texas Reliability Entity’s Board of Directors for the first time, giving a sneak peek of NERC's long-term reliability assessment.

The commission rejected a complaint by cybersecurity activist George Cotter, who last year accused NERC of neglecting the cybersecurity needs of the BPS.
