Canada’s Ontario and Maritimes provinces may have to rely on energy imports and operating procedures to meet energy needs this summer, the NPCC said.

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.

National Grid USA must pay $512,000 in penalties to NPCC for violations of NERC reliability standards, under a settlement approved by FERC.

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.

Parts of the U.S. face “elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls” this summer, according to NERC’s upcoming Summer Reliability Assessment.

The Northeast Power Coordinating Council’s Regional Standards Committee approved a guidance document on integrating DERs on the bulk power system.

NPCC predicted adequate resources to meet the needs of customers this summer, despite drops in capacity and a rise in expected demand since 2021.

NPCC will focus next year on ensuring reliability, integrating DERs and renewables and protecting infrastructure from cyber and physical threats.

FERC accepted the ERO Enterprise's 2022 Business Plans and Budgets, reflecting planned increases in spending by NERC and the regional entities.
