In light of the President’s proclamation, the Commission believes it is appropriate to provide regulatory guidance on certain energy infrastructure, market, reliability and security matters. We understand that regulated entities may need to implement new procedures, update and/or suspend existing procedures, and take other measures to safeguard the business continuity of their systems. We are aware that such regulated entities may have questions about their ability to meet regulatory requirements and/or recover the expenses necessary if they take steps to safeguard the business continuity of their systems during the national emergency. We want to assure regulated entities that we will expeditiously review and act on requests for relief, including but not limited to, requests for cost recovery necessary to assure business continuity of the regulated entities’ energy infrastructure in response to the national emergency. 2.
