The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) develops and enforces Reliability Standards in support of its mission to assure effective and efficient reduction of risks to the reliability and security of the grid. In this webinar, NERC staff will provide an overview of how Reliability Standards are developed and the opportunities for stakeholder involvement throughout this development process. The webinar will highlight the Reliability Standards currently under development related to inverter-based resources (IBRs) and provide details on their timelines and how interested stakeholders can get involved. Finally, NERC staff will review the status of its ongoing IBR Registration Initiative.
