Happy Friday from ERO Insider, your host with the most news from around the exciting world of electric reliability! It’s been another busy week for us, so let’s dive right in and check out this week’s stories.
In their monthly conference call this week, members of NERC’s Standards Committee found out they weren’t quite done with the ERO’s proposed standard on ride-through requirements for inverter-based resources. Join Holden Mann inside for that story and other standards actions from this week’s meeting. (See NERC Standards Committee Briefs: Oct. 16, 2024.)
FERC’s annual Reliability Technical Conference saw attendees airing some of their biggest concerns about the direction of grid reliability. Follow the link to learn what NERC CEO Jim Robb and other stakeholders had to say. (See FERC Grills Grid Stakeholders on Reliability.)
The commission also held its monthly open meeting this week, where it approved the 2025 budgets for NERC and the regional entities. We’ve got a closer look at the ERO’s planned spending inside, along with one commissioner’s take on a planned transmission study in the Western Interconnection. (See FERC Approves NERC, RE Budgets for 2025.)
NERC hopes that expanding the range of data it collects on transmission outages will help it better understand the workings of the grid, and it’s taking comments on a proposal that would help it do so. Find out what kind of information it wants to add after the break. (See Comments Open on NERC TADS Data Request.)
The ERO is seeking FERC’s approval for another round of changes to its Rules of Procedure that will change the way a key committee hears appeals. We’ve got more on NERC’s proposal after the jump. (See NERC Files Latest ROP Changes with FERC.)
Thanks again for joining us! We’ll be back next week with more updates from the ERO Enterprise and beyond, including reports from the GridSecCon security conference in Minneapolis. Be sure to join us — until then, have a great weekend!
