Technical Talk with RF
ReliabilityFirst (RF) offers a regularly scheduled monthly call to provide entities and stakeholders with a forum for addressing topics and questions relevant to reliability, resilience and security.
While RF Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will provide presentations and updates, they will not address entity-specific questions and issues. These types of questions can be handled offline by using the RF Assist Visit program. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mike Hughes, Entity Engagement Manager, 216-503-0617.

Agenda
New NERC Reliability Standards applicable to Inverter-Based Resources: What to know
Greg Sorenson, Principal Technical Auditor, Operations & Planning Compliance Monitoring, RF
PRC-028, PRC-029, and PRC-030 are three new NERC Reliability Standards applicable to inverter-based resources (IBRs) aimed to help address risks to the Bulk Electric System around event analysis and ride-through capabilities. Greg will provide an overview of these standards and discuss their implementation.
NERC Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures update
Soo Jin Kim, VP, Standards and Registration, NERC, and Alison Oswald, Manager of Standards Development, NERC
Soo Jin Kim and Alison Oswald will provide an update on the current phase of the Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures (MSPP) Initiative. This phase will advance the implementation of recommendations released by the MSPP Task Force in late January 2026 and accepted by the NERC Board of Trustees in February 2026.
The MSPP Initiative was initially launched in 2025 to transform the current Reliability Standard development processes to more effectively and efficiently develop Reliability Standards to meet the speed at which risks to the bulk power system emerge.
