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.

In a joint filing to FERC, NERC and the REs supported the commission’s proposal to modify NERC’s reliability standards in response to climate change.

Occidental Power Services’ Venona Greaff told Texas RE that the industry's new cold weather standard is on track to be approved in October.

At the first in-person meetings of NERC’s board and MRC since the pandemic's start, attendees reflected on changes experienced since they last saw each other.

NERC's latest cold weather standards project has progressed to the next phase after a special meeting of the Standards Committee's Executive Committee.

Members of NERC's Standards Committee agreed on Wednesday to a move that could shave weeks off development of the latest cold-weather standards project.

SERC's year-end board meeting concentrated on the importance of members adopting NERC’s new cold weather standards before they become enforceable in early 2023.
