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 Files Statement of Procedures, Rehearing Request with FERC

WASHINGTON, DC -- The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) filed a Statement of Procedures with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposing an open, transparent and public process for addressing all of the recommendations contained in FERC's Office of Enforcement Final Audit Report. NERC welcomes public input on its proposals to address the recommendations, and believes an open and transparent public process is superior to a nonpublic enforcement process for considering these issues. A request for rehearing of the Office of Enforcement's delegated letter order also was filed, but if NERC's proposed procedures are accepted, the rehearing request may be dismissed as moot.
