NERC (North American standards)

A quiet week: no comment window closes in the next seven days, and nothing new arrived on the standards development list. The ballot pools for 2022-05 close today and the nearest comment deadline is September 18, which leaves this edition short enough to finish before the coffee does.

Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition called September 23 the nearest deadline and left out other open electricity windows. This version lists them and describes the twenty as tracked items rather than open ones.

Closing this week

September 7 (today): the ballot pools for 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold close.

Coming up

Comments by September 18: 2026-02 Computational Loads.

Comments by September 23: 2022-05 Modifications to CIP-008 Reporting Threshold.

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

Comments by October 26: Standards Processes Manual Revisions, under the Modernization of Standard Processes and Procedures Implementation effort.

What moved

The comment window on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 closed on August 31, taking it off the actionable list.

The wide view

NERC's project list holds twenty 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 and the paired Order No. 901 work on planning studies and operational studies.

Dates and documents are the source's own; this edition adds no interpretation. Coverage across several markets, with the weekly written edition, is the Pro tier.
