ERCOT staff says that despite “not insignificant” forced outages during the December winter storm, it set a new winter demand record and supported reliability.

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association urged Congress to streamline permitting of transmission, backing a bill to limit NEPA reviews to two years.

MISO can continue as planned with its seasonal capacity auction and availability-based resource accreditation, FERC ruled, rejecting rehearing requests.

FERC ordered two new NERC reliability standards in response to the February 2021 winter storm that nearly led to the collapse of the Texas Interconnection.

The sixth meeting of the Joint Federal State Task Force on Transmission focused on securing the grid against physical attacks.

NYISO on Monday updated the Operating Committee on January operations performance and how the early-February cold snap event impacted the grid.

The electric sector must fundamentally reconsider how it measures and manages grid reliability, speakers on a WECC panel said.

Icy weather knocked more than 400,000 Texas customers offline last week, but all outages were at the local distribution level.

Acting FERC Chairman Willie Phillips made his first comments since taking over the agency.

ERCOT survived a record-breaking summer and a pre-Christmas winter storm, but now it must gain lawmakers' approval of a new market design.
