Transportation Security Administration officials defended efforts to protect the country’s natural gas pipelines, telling FERC they are adding more staff.

FERC said PJM’s proposal for reimbursing generators for fuel-switching costs and penalties incurred when gas pipelines fail lacked specificity and clarity.

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee worries FERC and NERC are not treating cyberattack threats on energy infrastructure with enough urgency.

FERC Commissioner Richard Glick provided some insight into the “vigorous debate” over natural gas pipeline approvals that has divided the commission.

FERC begins 2019 with a new chairman and renewed questions about whether it will resist President Trump's efforts to deliver on his pledges to coal.

TSA oversight of natural gas pipeline security is hampered by staffing constraints and vague criteria for identifying critical facilities, GAO reported.

NERC warned that faster than expected coal and nuclear power plant retirements could jeopardize reliability if grid operators are not prepared.

A report on fuel security in PJM shows the grid is reliable in all but extreme scenarios as long as resources are compensated for being fuel-secure.

Stakeholders endorsed revisions that would align PJM’s price-responsive demand rules with the Capacity Performance construct.

ISO-NE said it expects to have sufficient capacity on hand this winter to meet load, which it forecasts will peak at 20,357 MW in normal conditions.
