NERC CEO Jim Robb said he felt “sobered by the amount of work in front of us” but confident the ERO can address the grid’s “hyper complex risk environment.”

PJM will pay $140,000 to ReliabilityFirst as part of a settlement for violations of NERC reliability standards at several facilities, including 2 nuclear sites.

While none of the incidents affected reliability, evidence of attackers’ efforts to sabotage the grid “highlights the continued need for vigilance,” NERC said.

NERC will not support expanding physical security standards to all major BPS assets when it files comments with FERC next month, a senior official told EPSA.

NERC's RSTC wrapped up its meeting with an invocation of the movie "Moneyball" to explain the committee’s place in the “data-driven world” of reliability.

FERC acted to shore up grid cybersecurity defenses by approving a NERC reliability standard that requires utilities to protect low-impact cyber resources.

NERC called on owners of Bulk Electric System-connected solar generation assets to step up and take action aimed at preventing “systemic performance issues.”

DOE and EPA announced said they will conduct “routine and robust communication” to ensure reliability during the grid’s transition to clean energy sources.

2022 saw “significant progress” for the ERO’s Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement and Organization Registration and Certification programs, a new report says.

FERC approved $147,000 in penalties against University Park Energy of Illinois and Broad River Energy of South Carolina for violating NERC standards.
