NERC has informed FERC that over 850 inverter-based resources (IBRs) not currently registered will likely need to register under the new IBR registration criteria proposed by the ERO. This update, provided in a filing on February 5, outlines the progress of the registration initiative mandated by FERC's June 2024 order. The new criteria categorize generator owners as 'Category 2 GOs,' which includes entities with IBRs that have a nameplate capacity of 20 MVA or more, connected to the grid at voltages of 60 kV or higher.

According to NERC's estimates, there are 863 IBRs that meet the Category 2 criteria, totaling a capacity of 38,785 MVA across various regional entities. NERC's ongoing registration work plan, approved by FERC in May 2023, aims to complete the registration process by May 2026. The ERO has begun outreach to potential candidates for registration and plans to provide training for newly registered entities in mid-2025, as part of the three-year plan to enhance grid reliability.
