Offsetting the Financial Impact of Category 2 Compliance with Better Asset Management
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has introduced a new registration classification—Category 2 (Cat-2)—that will reshape how operators of inverter-based resources (IBRs) engage with the bulk power system. If you own or operate solar, wind, or battery assets with a gross aggregate nameplate capacity between 20 MVA and 75 MVA and interconnection voltages of 60 kV or higher, this applies to you. The deadline: May 15, 2026.
