FERC has approved NERC's expansion of registration requirements to include Category 2 Generator Owners and Operators — entities owning or operating non-BES inverter-based resources (solar, wind, battery, fuel cells) meeting the 20 MVA / 60 kV threshold. These entities must register, build compliance programs, and demonstrate adherence to applicable Reliability Standards.
Most affected entities have zero existing NERC compliance infrastructure.
