NERC (North American standards)

Nothing closes on the standards side in the next seven days, but two comment windows are open: 2026-03 Computational Loads Disturbance Performance, through 2026-11-20, and 2024-02 Planning Energy Assurance, through 2026-12-10.

Corrected November 6, 2026. The first version of this edition said nothing new arrived, named no open window, and called all 22 items on NERC's list open. Project 2024-02 opened for comment on October 28, and the Project 2026-03 window had been open since October 22. This version lists both windows and says where those items stand.

The wide view

NERC's project list holds 22 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. Of the other nine, two carry the windows above and the rest have no comment window open, among them 2025-06 Supply Chain Risk Management and 2025-03 Order No. 901 Operational Studies.
