During the April 16 meeting, NERC's Standards Committee approved the posting of several reliability standards related to inverter-based resources (IBRs) in response to a FERC directive. These standards, stemming from FERC's Order 901, aim to enhance the reliability of IBRs, including solar and wind facilities. The committee discussed the need for expedited comment periods on these standards due to their interrelated nature, ultimately agreeing to staggered deadlines to alleviate pressure on industry stakeholders.

Additionally, the committee addressed minor updates to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards and approved a standard authorization request for revising EOP-012-3, focusing on extreme cold weather preparedness from a Canadian perspective. The committee's actions reflect ongoing efforts to ensure robust standards and effective stakeholder engagement in the evolving landscape of energy resources.
