FERC recently announced steps to ensure that operators of
the Bulk Electric System can focus their resources on keeping people safe and
the lights on during this unprecedented COVID-19 emergency. Since the
announcement, NERC and the Regional Entities have received a number of
questions from industry. In response, NERC has published a FAQ document to
help provide additional clarity on the guidance, and will regularly update the
FAQ document as new questions are received. The FAQ document can be found
here: COVID-19
ORC and CMEP Frequently Asked Questions.
For details regarding the process Registered Entities should
use to submit exception requests to ReliabilityFirst under FERC’s guidance,

Announcement. If you have other questions or concerns regarding the
COVID-19 outbreak implications, please use the Contact Us page on
