BREAKER BRIEF
WEEK OF OCTOBER 5 TO OCTOBER 11, 2026 | BREAKERBRIEF.COM
NERC (North American standards)
A quiet week for the standards: no comment window closes in the next seven days and nothing new arrived. The final ballot on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 closes today, the ballot pool for the Standards Processes Manual revisions closes October 9, and their comment deadline is October 26.
Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing closed in the next seven days and called October 26 the only dated deadline. The final ballot on 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 closes October 5, and the ballot pool for the Standards Processes Manual revisions closes October 9. This version lists both and describes the twenty-one as tracked items rather than open ones.
