BREAKER BRIEF
WEEK OF OCTOBER 12 TO OCTOBER 18, 2026 | BREAKERBRIEF.COM
NERC
A quiet week for North American standards: no comment window closes in the next seven days and no new project joined the list. The final ballots on 2026-02 Computational Loads close October 14, and the next comment deadline is on the Standards Processes Manual revisions, October 26.
Corrected November 7, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing closed in the next seven days and nothing new arrived. The final ballots on 2026-02 Computational Loads opened October 9 and close October 14. This version lists them and describes the twenty-one as tracked items rather than open ones.
Closing this week
October 14: Final ballots close on 2026-02 Computational Loads. They opened October 9.
Coming up
October 26: Comments are due on the Standards Processes Manual Revisions, part of the Modernization of Standard Processes and Procedures Implementation. This is a comment window, and it closes on that date.
The wide view
NERC's project list holds twenty-one items, all tracked. The Standards Committee has discontinued 13 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.
