Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures Task Force (MSPPTF)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At its February 2025 meeting, the NERC Board of Trustees passed a resolution forming an industry-led Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures Task Force (MSPPTF) to undertake a strategic review of NERC’s Reliability Standards development process. The MSPPTF’s work will focus on transforming current processes and procedures to ensure that standards can be developed more efficiently and effectively to better address the complex and rapidly evolving risk landscape. Maintaining a collaborative stakeholder-based process that reflects the balance of interests will be one of the guiding principles of the initiative. The MSPPTF will present its recommendations to the board at its​ February 2026 meeting.
