ARLINGTON, VA – Cold weather standards, emerging risks, the summer reliability outlook and a review of 2021 reliability performance were topics of focus at NERC’s quarterly Board of Trustees meeting. The meeting was changed to an all-virtual format out of an abundance of caution to safeguard the health of participants after a member of the NERC team tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week.
Board Chair Ken DeFontes welcomed virtual attendees, apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the change of meeting format.
“There is much value in us being together in person, but even as the pandemic enters a new phase we must be prepared to respond responsibly to unexpected circumstances,” DeFontes said. “The plan is to hold the August MRC/Board meetings in person in Vancouver, Canada, as scheduled, but we are exploring different options in how that may occur.”
