<p>What could happen if a renewable energy project fails to meet new NERC compliance requirements? In some cases, penalties can reach <strong>up to $1 million per day per violation</strong>.</p><p>In this special episode of Navigating the Grid, we’re sharing a conversation originally recorded for the<strong> Clean Energy Edge Podcast</strong>, where <strong>Kellie Macpherson</strong>, EVP of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, joined host <strong>Russ Bates</strong> to discuss the evolving compliance landscape for renewable energy.</p><p>Starting <strong>May 1, 2026</strong>, inverter-based resources (IBRs) rated <strong>20 MW or greater</strong> and connected at <strong>60 kV or higher</strong> must register under updated <strong>North American Electric Reliability Corporation</strong> Category 2 requirements. The compliance threshold is dropping from <strong>75 MW to 20 MW</strong>, dramatically expanding federal oversight across solar, wind, and battery storage projects.</p><p>In this episode, Kellie breaks down what the rule change means, which projects will be affected, and why compliance now extends beyond paperwork to include operational readiness, cybersecurity monitoring, and audit preparedness.</p><p>As renewables take on a larger role in grid reliability, understanding these requirements is becoming essential for operators, developers, and investors alike.</p>
