Compliance: Compliance Registry


Organization Registration Program

All bulk power system owners, operators, and users are required to register with NERC. The process for registration is included in the NERC Rules of Procedure, Section 500. The NERC Compliance Registry is a listing of all organizations subject to compliance with the approved reliability standards. NERC provides notice of registration to all organizations included on the NERC Compliance Registry. The NERC Compliance Registry is posted on the NERC Web site and updated monthly.

NERC developed a Statement of Compliance Registry Criteria that delineates the selection criteria employed by NERC and the regional entities to determine which organizations should be registered as owners, operators, or users of the bulk power system. In particular, the statement proposes criteria for smaller or relatively (electrically) isolated organizations as load-serving entities, distribution providers, generation owners, generation operators, or transmission owners and transmission operators.

Organizations that have questions or comments regarding their placement on the NERC Registered Registry within a specific area or region should contact the appropriate regional entity. The geographic system footprints of NERC’s eight current regional entities can be viewed on the regional entity page on the NERC Web site.

Organizations that have not received requests to register and are uncertain whether they should register should contact the relevant regional entity or NERC.


Organization Certification Program

NERC maintains an Organization Certification Program, the goal of which is to ensure that organizations who register to perform certain responsible reliability functions deemed particularly crucial to reliability of the bulk power system will meet or exceed certain minimum criteria demonstrating that they are up to the task of performing these functions. The process for certification of organizations is included in NERC’s Rules of Procedure, Section 500.
