NERC (North American standards)

The comment window on the Canadian-specific revisions to EOP-012-3 closes today, Monday, August 31, and ballot pools on 2026-02 and 2022-05 close in the next seven days. One new project joined the list in the last seven days, and its comment window runs all the way to late October.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition called the EOP-012-3 comment period the only window closing this week, called September 23 the next deadline, and left out other open electricity windows. This version lists them and describes the nineteen as tracked items rather than open ones.

Closing in the next seven days

Today, Monday, August 31, is the last day to comment on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3. It is the only comment window closing this week, and it closes at the start of it, so if this one is on your list, it belongs at the top of today's.

Thursday, September 3: the ballot pool for 2026-02 Computational Loads closes.

Monday, September 7: the ballot pools for 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold close.

What moved

Project 2025-05 has left the tracked list; it was listed as Active last week.

Coming up

Friday, September 18: comments are due on 2026-02 Computational Loads.

Wednesday, September 23: comments are due on 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold. That leaves three weeks of runway.

Friday, October 9: the ballot pool for Standards Processes Manual Revisions closes.

Monday, October 26: comments are due on Standards Processes Manual Revisions | Modernization of Standard Processes and Procedures Implementation. This one is new to the list this week, so the process for revising standards is itself up for revision, and there is nearly two months to weigh in.

The wide view

NERC's project list holds nineteen items, all tracked. The Standards Committee has discontinued 12 of them under its current process, with an intent to reconsider them under the new standards intake process. Apart from the windows above, the rest have no comment window open, among them 2025-06 Supply Chain Risk Management, 2025-04 Order No. 901 Planning Studies, and 2025-03 Order No. 901 Operational Studies.
