Addressing the vulnerability of the power grid before terrorists do has become a hot topic – every day in the press, in whitepapers, in utilities across America. With huge regulation changes on the horizon, many utilities are wondering how this will affect them.
How will the new regulations affect urban versus rural substations? How much is the industry going to have to spend to protect the grid? Can it be done cost effectively? As the US is now taking a new approach to power grid security these are just some of the questions that are on the minds of utility executives.
Watch the exclusive interview with Jon Wellinghoff, Immediate Past Chairman of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), a formidable expert in this subject to get his take on recent events. During this 13 minute video, you will learn Jon’s insights on:
