NERC proposal targets cybersecurity risks in electric system supply chains NERC on Tuesday filed with federal regulators a petition stretching almost 3,500 pages, proposing new cybersecurity standards that aim to address the increasingly-sophisticated attacks on the nation’s bulk power system. The new standards were proposed in response to FERC Order 829, issued last summer, directing … Continue reading NERC proposal targets cybersecurity risks in electric system supply chains→
A U.S. grid clear of 2016 attacks is hardly worry-free — NERC The interstate grid’s top regulators want a closer look at threats that could penetrate power companies and smart grid networks. The North American Electric Reliability Corp., in its “State of Reliability 2017” report, noted there were no cybersecurity attacks that took down parts … Continue reading A U.S. grid clear of 2016 attacks is hardly worry-free — NERC→
NERC’s Summer Reliability Assessment finds ample resources available The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) recently released its 2017 Summer Reliability Assessment, which found that all areas of the United States have enough resources to meet expected peak electricity demands for this summer. Anticipated reserve margins, the amount of projected unused electric generating capacity at … Continue reading NERC ’s Summer Reliability Assessment finds ample resources available→
NERC Publishes 2016 Long-Term Reliability Assessment, Warns Of Shortages In MISO And ERCOT In December, 2016, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (“NERC”) released its 2016 Long-Term Reliability Assessment (“LTRA”). Among its key findings, NERC projected that the capacity reserve margin—the primary metric used to measure resource adequacy—would fall below its target level in the … Continue reading NERC Publishes 2016 Long-Term Reliability Assessment, Warns Of Shortages In MISO And ERCOT→
NERC’s 10-Year Grid Assessment: Enough Power, And Some Challenges The latest edition of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) report on long-term power supply and reliability trends over the next decade says that we have enough power to meet demand through at least 2025. NERC, the nation’s overseer of high power electric grid reliability, … Continue reading NERC ‘s 10-Year Grid Assessment: Enough Power, And Some Challenges→
California grid expected to maintain reliability despite drought According to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the bulk power system in California is not expected to lose grid reliability this summer, despite a drought that has lowered hydroelectric generation. Overall, NERC expects more than 72 gigawatts (GW) of electric generating capacity to be available … Continue reading California grid expected to maintain reliability despite #drought→
Just How Unreliable Is The U.S. Electricity Grid? Not only does the U.S. suffer more blackouts than any other developed nation… The number of U.S. power outages lasting more than an hour has increased steadily for the past decade. That’s according to federal databases at the Department of Energy (DOE) and the North American Electric … Continue reading Just How Unreliable Is The U.S. Electricity Grid?→
NERC wants safety valve included in final CO2 rule Houston, 2 April (Argus) — The US electric grid reliability watchdog wants the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to cut CO2 emissions from power plants to incorporate a “reliability safety valve” — compliance exceptions for reliability reasons. The North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) has two … Continue reading NERC wants safety valve included in final CO2 rule→
