Why does FERC Order 850 require immediate use of RFID?
Under FERC Order 850, ESTADOS UNIDOS. utilities must achieve 100% asset visibility by 2025. The risk of noncompliance can be up to $1 million per day (NERC 2024 Reliability Standards).
Key Challenges:
- 38% of transmission assets lack real-time status data (DOE Grid Modernization Report)
- 23% of corona discharge risks are missed by manual inspections (EPRI Study)
