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.

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.

Presenters at SERC Reliability webinar warned utilities that ransomware is a much bigger threat than many of them realize, and major efforts are still needed.

It should be “no surprise” which operation and planning standards are most often violated in SERC, the RE told attendees at its spring reliability webinar.

NERC’s Standards Committee kept up momentum on the organization’s efforts to harden the electric grid against extreme cold.

FERC ordered two new NERC reliability standards in response to the February 2021 winter storm that nearly led to the collapse of the Texas Interconnection.
