NERC's Board of Trustees accepted the latest proposed cold weather standards, which will now be sent to FERC for final approval.

ReliabilityFirst staff urged utilities to take advantage of the regional entity's voluntary winter preparedness consultations.

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

FERC said last week that “by operation of law” it would not reconsider its approval of one of NERC’s new cold weather reliability standards.

Stakeholders from across the ERO Enterprise gathered in New Orleans this week for the meeting of NERC’s Member Representatives Committee and Board of Trustees.

The ERO Enterprise’s work preparing for extreme winter weather is far from over despite completion of the initial effort to update reliability standards.

With the passage of NERC's new cold weather standards, the work of protecting North America’s grid from winter weather has only begun.

The team developing NERC's cold weather standards provided a preview of the new requirements in an industry webinar.
