This week, Kellie MacPherson joined the Solar Maverick Podcast with host Benoy Thanjan for a conversation on the growing importance of NERC compliance and cybersecurity across renewable energy assets.

Kellie shares insights on the upcoming May 15, 2026 NERC deadline and what it means for solar, storage, and wind projects — especially inverter-based resources around 20 MW and above. The discussion explores why registration is only the beginning, what it takes to become audit-ready, and how owners and operators can strengthen compliance programs, cybersecurity controls, and operational resilience.

The episode also dives into:

• Cybersecurity risks facing renewable energy assets
• SCADA systems, inverter settings, and grid reliability
• Why renewable energy projects are increasingly treated as critical infrastructure
• Kellie’s work leading compliance and risk at Radian Generation
• Her role on the board of the Solar Energy Industries Association
• Using podcasting and LinkedIn to educate and support the industry
