FERC approved a $40,000 penalty against multiple Duke Energy facilities for violations of NERC reliability standards.

A report by FERC, NERC and Texas RE focused on the risk of natural gas disruptions to utilities' black-start restoration plans.

The Texas Reliability Entity says ERCOT generators’ winterization efforts are in “pretty good shape” in preparing for a NERC cold-weather standard.

As the transition to clean energy contributes to the risk of energy shortfalls, electric industry stakeholders say keeping the grid operating reliably will require new ways of thinking.

FERC accepted changes to Texas RE's regional standards development process intended to give the RE more flexibility and align it with NERC.

Responses to NERC's Level 2 alert indicate widespread issues with performance of inverter-based resources.

NERC's Winter Reliability Assessment found large portions of the electric grid at risk of energy shortfalls this winter.

FERC OK'd the 2024 business plans and budgets for the ERO, though Commissioner James Danly called for “a significant improvement in … speed and agility.”  

ERCOT surprised market participants with an announcement that it plans to increase operating reserves by requesting an additional 3,000 MW of capacity to shore up the grid for the upcoming winter.

Texas reliability and regulator officials are praising the state's efforts to weatherize their facilities following the disastrous 2021 winter storm, while the results bear them out.
