- NERC’s 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment(LTRA)
Trends identified in this assessment highlight critical reliability challenges that industry is facing over the next 10 years: satisfying escalating energy growth, managing generator retirements and removing barriers to resource and transmission development. As a result, well over half of the continent is at elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls over the next 5 to 10 years.
- FERC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for proposed Reliability Standards PRC-024-4 and PRC-029-1
On December 19, 2024, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to approve the addition of the newly defined term “Ride-through” to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Glossary of Terms and to approve the proposed Protection and Control (PRC) Reliability Standards PRC-024-4 (Frequency and Voltage Protection Settings for Synchronous Generators, Type 1 and 2 Wind Resources, and Synchronous Condensers) and PRC-029-1 (Frequency and Voltage Ride-through Requirements for Inverter-Based Resources (IBR)). Entities are requested to submit comments within 60 days after the NOPR is published in the Federal Register. The NAGF will work with membership to develop comments for submittal.
