Facility Ratings

Status:
The recirculation ballot for proposed standard FAC-008-2 — Facility Ratings and an associated implementation ended on March 18, 2010.  The ballot pool approved the standard.  The standard will be submitted to the NERC Board of Trustees for approval.

Purpose/Industry Need:
The revisions to these two standards will result in a single standard that is responsive to the recommended changes identified in the Standard Review Guidelines attached to this SAR and also to two of the three applicable FERC directives in Order 693.

The proposed changes to FAC-008 and FAC-009 have already been through stakeholder review and reached consensus in 2008 on all requirements except the requirement developed to meet the FERC directive in Order 693 that required identification of the most limiting component of a facility and the theoretical increase in rating if the limitation were removed. Stakeholders indicated that this requirement did not have a reliability-related benefit, and voted against the inclusion of a requirement to meet this directive. Thus, this SAR proposes the same standard that was developed and balloted in late 2008, but without that requirement.
