SERVICES: NERC Category 2 - Compliance

Navigating the New NERC Category 2 Requirements

A pivotal shift in the industry requires registration for more renewable energy assets. Radian Generation is here to help you navigate the changes.

The energy industry is experiencing a significant change as NERC lowers the registration threshold for Generator Owners (GO) and Generator Operators (GOP). This shift requires many inverter-based resources to register with NERC, and Radian Generation is ready to guide you through this process.

Understanding the NERC Category 2 Changes

NERC has lowered the registration threshold to include assets connected at 60 kV and 20 MW. This means many inverter-based resources that were previously exempt now need to register with NERC.

This change is designed to ensure grid reliability as the industry transitions to renewable energy. The goal is to make sure that all energy resources, including renewables, follow the NERC standards.

If you operate inverter-based resources connected at 60 kV and 20 MW or more, you are likely impacted.
