FERC Considers Approving New CIP Standards
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is considering approval of new Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards drafted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) under a FERC order. Meanwhile, FERC is also suggesting that NERC revise the standards to potentially cover more grid facilities. FERC is expected to issue a final rule on the standards in late 2014 or early 2015.
