Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.19.20
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) jointly issued compliance guidance notifying NERC-registered entities that they will consider the impact of the coronavirus outbreak as an acceptable basis for noncompliance with certain NERC Reliability Standards and related activities, as follows:
- Noncompliance with obtaining and maintaining personnel certification under PER-003-2, for the period March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, except that registered entities must notify their Regional Entities and reliability coordinators when using system operator personnel that are not NERC-certified.
- Noncompliance with Reliability Standard requirements involving periodic actions that would have to be taken between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020, except that registered entities must notify their Regional Entities of any periodic actions that will be missed during this period.
- Regional Entities will postpone on-site audits, certifications, and other on-site activities through July 31, 2020.
- Registered entities should communicate any coronavirus-related resource impacts associated with remote activities to their Regional Entities.

Important EU Court Judgment Clarifies Rules on Interest Due in Cartel Damages Cases
In a judgment that will have direct and immediate consequences, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has clarified that for all competition damages actions brought after 26 December 2014, interest runs from the date on which the harm occurred. The ruling addressed two important questions: (1) whether national provisions implementing Article 3(2) of the EU Damages Directive — which requires interest to run from the date harm occurred —apply to cases in which the harm preceded the adoption of those provisions; and (2) how the date of harm should be determined in cartel cases involving the purchase of goods at inflated prices.
