Former FERC Chariman Jon Wellinghoff is coming under fire from some of his old colleagues for comments he has made to the media regarding grid safety.

Responding to concerns raised by the sabotage of a PG&E substation, FERC has ordered reliability standards to enhance the grid's physical security.

FERC and NERC cautioned against overreacting to last year's substation sabotage, with two FERC commissioners taking a swipe at a former colleague who has been sounding the alarm.
