NERC plans to hold a workshop Nov. 5 to both inform industry of its plan to satisfy FERC Order 909 and solicit input from stakeholders on the next steps.

NERC's Standards Committee agreed to move forward with multiple high-priority standards development projects.

FERC denied two clean energy associations' request that it encourage NERC to complete its examination of a recent standard on inverter-based resources quickly.

FERC approved two new reliability standards mandating voltage and frequency ride-through requirements for inverter-based resources.

NERC defended its proposed standard on inverter-based resources from stakeholder criticism on several aspects, including its development process and exemptions for legacy technology.

Industry stakeholders called for a number of revisions to NERC's proposed inverter-based resource ride-through standards, mostly involving the exemption process for legacy inverters.

FERC accepted NERC's five-year performance assessment while seeking comments on its proposal to adopt two standards related to inverter-based resources.

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.
