NERC Project 2026-02 (Computational Loads): CLO-001-1, CLO-002-1, CLO-003-1, FAC-001-5 and FAC-002-5 passed final ballot (ballots 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-14; NERC announcement 2026-10-15); Board approved Computational Load Owner/Operator registry criteria 2026-10-08; Board adoption of the standards and FERC filing by 2026-12-31 to follow
Project 2026-02observed
| Value kind | observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Final-ballot weighted segment approval: CLO-001-1 82.33%, CLO-002-1 78.13%, CLO-003-1 82.69%, FAC-001-5/FAC-002-5 95.51%. The standards apply to Computational Load Sites of ≥50 MW total connected load supplied at ≥100 kV. Not effective: NERC's Board must adopt them (planned December 2026) and FERC must approve the filing; each standard takes effect on the first day of the first calendar quarter after FERC's approving order, with phased compliance dates in its implementation plan. |
