The Midwest faces several new risks in 2023, including cybersecurity threats and supply chain issues, according to the MRO’s 2023 Regional Risk Assessment.

Incidents of deliberate physical damage to bulk power system facilities rose by 77% last year, driving home the danger posed by malicious actors, DOE said.

The commission ordered the ERO to submit an array of additional information on costs related to the E-ISAC in its 2023 budget.

FERC approved NERC's June spreadsheet notice of penalty, including settlements over reliability standard violations submitted by SERC and MRO.

SPP has issued another conservative operations advisory for its entire 14-state Eastern Interconnection footprint, effective Wednesday through Friday evening.

The Midwest Reliability Organization's summer assessment revealed significant risks in three of its four subregions, potentially leading to energy emergencies.

NERC and the regional entities said the ongoing shutdown of business travel and remote work postures from COVID-19 helped fuel budget savings in 2021.

Finance officers across the ERO Enterprise said that inflation and cybersecurity investments will be major drivers of budget increases in 2023.

MRO’s annual reliability conference emphasized the inevitability of the transition to clean energy and avoiding future supply shortfalls with more generation.

FERC last week approved penalties against utilities in the footprints of ReliabilityFirst, MRO, and WECC for violations of NERC reliability standards.
