NERC - North American Electric Reliability Corporation

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC) mission is to ensure the reliability of the North American bulk power system. NERC is the electric reliability organization (ERO) certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish and enforce reliability standards for the bulk-power system. NERC develops and enforces reliability standards; assesses adequacy annually via a 10-year forecast, and summer and winter forecasts; monitors the bulk power system; and educates, trains and certifies industry personnel. ERO activities in Canada related to the reliability of the bulk-power system are recognized and overseen by the appropriate governmental authorities in that country.

NERC Assessment Identifies Key Findings for Future Industry Dependency on Natural Gas

ATLANTA -- The majority of new generating capacity projected in the next ten years will rely on natural gas as its primary fuel, a recent assessment by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) finds. The 2011 Special Reliability Assessment: A Primer of the Natural Gas and Electric Power Interdependency in the United States reviews gas and electric interdependencies, assesses existing and future challenges, identifies areas of vulnerability, and provides recommendations for enhancing reliability.
