    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is seeking public comments on an Interregional Transfer Capability Study submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). This study, required by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, investigates the transfer capability between neighboring electric transmission planning regions and recommends enhancements to improve reliability. NERC had to submit this study by December 2, 2024, and comments are open for 60 days following its publication in the Federal Register. The Commission will consider this feedback and compile a report for Congress with any recommendations for legal adjustments by the end of the public comment period.

    In a recent notice, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved new standards and a definition related to inverter-based resources (IBRs), following petitions from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). These new standards, named PRC-028-1, PRC-002-5, and PRC-030-1, aim to enhance the monitoring and analysis of disturbances in the Bulk-Power System, especially those involving solar and wind resources connected through inverters. These rules require generator owners to install equipment to track disturbances and ensure data is shared correctly to maintain system reliability. The document also details the expected reporting burdens for compliance with these new standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has made new rules for how big electricity machines, like those helping solar and wind power, should watch for and share important information to make sure the electricity stays on. They want to make sure everyone follows these rules properly, but not everyone knows how it will affect smaller businesses or how they'll check if everyone is doing what they're supposed to.
