Agenda Topics
“Christmas in July” – a look back at system performance during the 2023-2024 winter and a look ahead to this upcoming winter, as we work together to mitigate risks due to extreme cold weather.
System Performance Review of the January 2024 Arctic Storms
Matt Lewis, NERC Manager of Event Analysis
Kiel Lyons, NERC Senior Manager, Compliance Assurance
Chanel Chasanov, Attorney-Advisor in FERC’s Office of the General Counsel
Robert Clark, Electrical Engineer in FERC’s Office of Electric Reliability

Extreme cold weather events have shown the need for the natural gas and electric systems, and the underlying infrastructure that supports their operations, to continue to prepare for extreme cold weather. The NERC and FERC team will provide a recap of system performance during Winter Storms Gerri and Heather, which impacted our region from Jan. 10 to 17, 2024, plus review recommendations from FERC-NERC-Regional Entity joint reports.

ReliabilityFirst Cold Weather Winterization and Small Group Advisory Sessions
Mike Hughes, Manager, Entity Engagement, RF
Tim Fryfogle, Principal Engineer – Resources, Engineering & System Performance, RF

The RF team will provide an overview of our Cold Weather Winterization program, plus a look back at our site visits from this past winter and performance in the RF region. The team will also touch upon NERC’s recent Small Group Advisory Sessions (SGAs) which provided an educational opportunity for registered entities to meet with NERC and the Regional Entities to discuss cold weather preparedness Reliability Standards including EOP-011, EOP-012, and TOP-002.

Intended Audience
These presentations are especially relevant for RTOs, utilities, and generators facing reliability risks due to extreme cold weather. State commission staff and others in regulatory affairs may also be interested in the steps that NERC and the regions are taking to enforce new Reliability Standards, share best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations from previous events to drive continuous improvement in mitigating these risks.

Agenda Topics
The business case for prioritizing your mental and physical well-being
Niki Schaefer, Vice President & General Counsel, RF

Although the demands that work, and life outside of work, place on our lives vary from person to person, we all share the common challenge of navigating them in a way that allows us to feel successful in our careers and in our personal lives. Every day we are faced with a series of choices in how we allocate our time and energy, yet often the pressures life puts on us make us feel like we don’t have a choice. That was the experience of Niki Schaefer when she suffered a stroke at 38 years old as a result of placing more importance on her career, parenting, family, friend and community obligations than she placed on her own mental and physical health. Niki will explain what happened and the lessons she learned on her road to recovery that helped her find health and happiness post-stroke.

The value of workplace friendships
Sam Queeno, Director, Physical Security, AEP, and Founder, Best Friend Friday

You may know Sam Queeno from his work as Director of Physical Security for AEP, but beyond his security expertise, Sam has another passion: the value of having a best friend at work. He started Best Friend Friday, a weekly video series that highlights best friends at work, in 2018, and published a book on this subject as well in May 2024. This passion project has grown to become a framework that can be used both to improve relationships in the workplace and beyond. Sam will discuss the “best friend at work” concept and the value it can bring to your organization.

ERO Enterprise Webinar | Inverter-Based Resource Registration Initiative
2024-11-13 15:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
Click here for: Webinar Registration | IBR Initiative Quick Reference Guide | Candidate for Registration Quick Reference Guide
In November, the ERO Enterprise will host an informational webinar on the Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Registration Initiative, which addresses the identification and registration of owners and operators of IBRs that are connected to the bulk power system, but are not currently required to register with NERC or adhere to its Reliability Standards. To mitigate this reliability concern, NERC seeks to register Generator Owners (GO) and Generator Operators (GOP) of non-Bulk Electric System IBRs with aggregate nameplate capacity ≥20 MVA connected at a voltage ≥60 kV.
This informational webinar is designed for Category 2 GO and GOPs, and will feature presentations from NERC, the Electricity Information Sharing Analysis Center (E‑ISAC), and Regional Entity staff focused on various topics and activities underway, including:

Milestones and Work Plan
Registration Criteria Revisions: New Category 2 GO and GOP
NERC Standards and Compliance Expectations
ERO Identification/Registration Process for Category 2 GO and GOPs
Communications Resources

The webinar will include panelist presentations followed by a question-and-answer session.
