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.

FERC approved a new definition of the bulk electric system that refines the exclusions for radial facilities and local networks.

A Department of Energy-funded study concludes that PJM has the best alignment of electric and natural gas infrastructure among U.S. regions on the Eastern Interconnection.

PJM won’t seek additional compensation for black start generators in the face of stakeholder opposition, officials told members Friday. Instead, members of the task force studying the issue will be polled to determine their next step.

Nearing the end of one of the harshest winters in its history, PJM is considering requiring winter testing of generators.

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

Black start generators anticipating increased compensation came away empty handed Thursday as stakeholders rejected two proposals that would have boosted payments to existing units by at least 40%.

PJM Members last week approved revisions to the Operating Agreement to allow PJM to share non-public operational information with natural gas pipelines and local distribution companies.

WASHINGTON -- A panel headed by former CIA and NSA chief Michael Hayden today recommended an expansion of the electric industry’s cybersecurity efforts, saying the current efforts by FERC and NERC fail to protect the distribution system.

PJM and other grid operators will face unprecedented reliability challenges in the next several years as federal environmental regulations and low energy and capacity prices threaten to sideline baseload coal and nuclear capacity, federal and PJM officials told state regulators.
