PJM's Annual Meeting last week marked a number of milestones: It was the largest yet, with 525 attendees, and it heralded the end of CEO Terry Boston’s eight-year tenure.

A group at PJM’s biannual General Session debated the value and challenges of microgrids.

FERC said it expects sufficient resources to meet peak electric demand this summer despite coal-fired retirements, while NERC approved its summer reliability assessment.

FERC gave preliminary approval to the second stage of its reliability standard to protect the grid from geomagnetic disturbances (GMD).

FERC has required NERC to determine the severity of a “benchmark” GMD event — the threshold against which covered entities would evaluate their system’s vulnerability and develop protective strategies.
