Greetings once again from ERO Insider! The weather is becoming blessedly cooler as we inch toward autumn, but the world of electric reliability is as busy as ever, and our plucky correspondents have been hard at work tracking the stories you need to know. So let’s check out their work for the week!


Cybersecurity was back on the menu at this week’s FERC open meeting, with the commissioners issuing two proposals for new reliability standards to toughen up the grid’s cyber stance. Holden Mann has the details on the commission’s Notices of Proposed Rulemaking and how they could enhance NERC’s existing standards. (See FERC Proposes Further Cybersecurity Measures.) 


NERC’s Standards Committee has had an eventful September, hosting its first technical conference earlier in the month to discuss industry’s issues with a proposed standard on ride-through protection for inverter-based resources. Now the standard is set to go back before industry stakeholders for a ballot that the ERO hopes will finally garner enough support to move forward for FERC confirmation. Follow the link for more from this week’s SC meeting. (See New IBR Standard to Finally Go to Ballot.) 


With the Western Interconnection changing at a rapid pace from factors such as large loads, WECC has set out to update its long-range strategy. But some stakeholders are questioning whether the strategy should refer to WECC as “The Voice of Reliability in the West.” Join Elaine Goodman inside for more from the new document. (See WECC, Members Grapple with Strategic Vision.) 


That’s going to do it for this week, but we’ll be on the job as usual all next week bringing you the news you need from the ERO Enterprise and beyond. Keep checking the website for the latest, and of course we’ll be back in your inbox next Friday with another exciting email. Have a great weekend!
