Now, let’s discuss the NERC standards that have the most impact during the solar development phase. First, how do you determine which, if any, NERC standards will apply to your solar project? There is […]
NERC compliance is a puzzle even for experienced solar developers and owners. In Part One of our four-part series, we covered the top mistakes solar developers make when it comes to NERC. Now, let’s move on to NERC registration. How Do You Know if Your Solar Project Will Have to Register with NERC? All solar facilities that […]
Founded in the wake of the 2003 Northeast Blackout, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is responsible for ensuring the reliability of the Bulk Electric System (BES). It is an independent self-regulatory organization with a federal mandate to create Reliability Standards—an agreed rule set by which every high voltage generator and transmission line must […]
August typically ushers in fire season on the West Coast but, this year, the fires have started earlier and are already more destructive than we have seen in previous years. Historic heat waves and drought fueled by climate change have made the West hotter and drier in the past 30 years and these dangerous conditions […]
On May 9th, 2021, a 345kV lightning arrestor faulted at a substation in Odessa, TX. The fault lasted less than three seconds but still caused a cascade of events resulting in nearly 1,299 MW of lost PV generation across three sites in an instant. Soon afterwards, ERCOT and NERC began an investigation into the response […]
