NERC leadership is considering using its authority to streamline the development process on another standard, a member of the ERO's management said.

With President-elect Donald Trump promising to "dismantle the deep state," former FERC Chair Neil Chatterjee's social media post offering "insight on who to keep and who to remove" led to worries about the continued independence of the agency.

Change is coming to FERC after Tuesday's election, but the policies the agency oversees are rarely top of mind during campaigns, so it is unclear how much will be different.

NERC submitted five reliability standards to FERC this week as the first tranche of rules governing inverter-based resources mandated in an order last year.

FERC accepted SPP’s tariff revisions that add a winter season resource adequacy requirement for load-responsible entities, extending its summer RA requirement.

NERC released the final draft installments of the ITCS this week, identifying 35 GW of prudent transfer capability additions.

On top of its 350 MW of current data center load, PSEG has received formal applications for nearly 400 MW of new data center load and inquiries on over 1,200 MW in data center feasibility studies in new business.

A common refrain at FERC’s technical conference on the co-location of data centers was that the issue is just part the broader problem of resource adequacy.
