Today’s LiveWire Spotlight examines the feedback from Registered Entities, regulators, advocacy groups, PUCs, and the Trades to FERC’s proposal to incentivize utilities to invest in cyber security.  The respondents offer the pros and cons of increasing the rate of return on equity for those who augment cyber security protections beyond that required by the CIP standards.
