As the electric industry continues to integrate inverter-based resources (IBRs) into the bulk power system, new NERC Reliability Standards are approaching mandatory compliance dates in 2026 and 2027.

NERC’s Generating Availability Data System (commonly referred to as GADS) is a program managed by NERC to collect performance data on electric generating units (conventional, wind, solar) to analyze equipment reliability.

As part of NERC’s Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Registration Initiative, Generator Owners (GOs) and Generator Operators (GOPs) with Category 2 IBR facilities should be aware of upcoming compliance obligations.

Research by the ERO Enterprise (NERC + Regional Entities) identified a 16 percent gap in grid oversight, representing approximately 29 GW of inverter-based resources (IBRs) connected to the bulk power system…

The ERO Enterprise continues to make progress on the Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Registration Initiative, and many entities with Category 2 IBR facilities are actively engaged in the registration process with some having already completed registration activities.

MRO is committed to advancing the ERO Enterprise Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Risk Mitigation Strategy. In support of NERC’s Invert-Based Resource Registration Initiative and the four IBR Risk Mitigation Strategy tenets…

When I was a teenager, back in the mid-1980’s, I remember a family gathering during which my cousin revealed that he had been selected for an IRS audit. I remember the dread that all the adults expressed when they heard about it.

Each year, the RAC is tasked with supporting outreach and awareness of reliability risks across the region as highlighted in the
