Industry stakeholders again rejected a proposed reliability standard dealing with transmission planning for extreme weather.

FERC directed NERC to submit further changes to its latest cold weather standard within the next nine months.

FERC will consider several items touching on the ERO Enterprise at June 27 open meeting.

NERC urged FERC to set aside the ISO/RTO Council's objections to its proposed cold weather standard.

NERC's Standards Committee moved ahead on several projects that are the subject of FERC orders at its monthly Standards Committee meeting.

The impasse over the ERO’s latest cold weather standard has ended, with EOP-012-2 finally receiving enough votes from industry stakeholders to pass its third formal comment and ballot period.

Facing mounting deadlines, NERC's Standards Committee agreed to shorten industry comment periods on two projects.

FERC said petitioners' call to overturn its approval of EOP-012-1 was outside the scope of the proceeding.
