NERC: Summer Grid Outlook Improved But Still Vulnerable to Extreme Weather, Demand Growth Spikes

All regions across the bulk power system (BPS) are generally prepared to meet resource adequacy criteria to meet normal peak demand this summer, but ongoing concerns about extreme weather events, […]

NERC’s 2024 Summer Reliability Assessment (SRA) finds that a large part of North America remains at risk of supply shortfalls, while other areas show reduced risk due to resource additions. Expected wide-area heat events that affect generation, wind output, or transmission systems coupled with demand growth in some areas are contributing to adequacy risks for resources and transmission. All areas are assessed to have adequate supply for normal peak load due, in large part, to a record 25 GW of additional solar capacity added since last year. However, energy risks are growing in several areas when solar, wind, and hydro output are low. Courtesy: NERC

Severance Pay: All Your Questions Answered

severance pay

So you’ve been laid off. That sucks, but a little less if your employer offers you a severance package. Find out how much severance pay you can get after termination and what the requirements are for qualifying (with bonus negotiation tips!). 

What is Severance Pay?

Severance pay is discretionary monetary compensation provided by the employer to a terminated employee. The exact sum depends on the employment contract type, tenure, position, and other contractual terms. 

Legally, employers aren’t obliged to offer severance pay when conducting layoffs unless there’s a bargaining agreement between an employer and a union forcing them to do so. Only 25% of US companies offer severance pay to all employees, according to a 2023 benchmark study.  

To determine if you’re entitled to a severance package, check your employment contract or reach the HR department. 

Is Severance Pay Taxable?

Yes, severance pay is taxable in the US. It will be included in your W-2, and appropriate taxes will be withheld by your employer.…

A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday, May 8, 2024. At least five flares were associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that appear to be Earth-directed. “CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun’s corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations,” NOAA explains.
