In addition to our bi-weekly newsletters and routine updates, there are times when NAGF will issue Flash Announcements to the full membership. These messages convey time-sensitive or otherwise unexpected information that may require your immediate attention.

• A Flash Announcement was issued on the 18^th of September because in the FERC open meeting that morning, Chairman David Rosner announced that the effective date for EOP-012-3 is being accelerated to October 2025, to ensure readiness ahead of the upcoming winter season.
• This announcement comes as a surprise to much of the industry, as the general expectation had been for an effective date of January 1, 2026. As a result of this change, any cold weather constraints declared last winter will now be subject to evaluation by the Compliance Enforcement Authorities (CEAs) by November 14.
• The NAGF Cold Weather Preparedness Group will continue to monitor this development and address related compliance challenges to support our members.
• Latest resources from NERC can be found below:
