As part of NERC's mission to ensure the reliability of the bulk power system in North America, NERC conducts detailed analyses of system disturbances to determine root causes, uncover lessons learned, and  issue relevant findings as advisories, recommendations, and essential actions to the industry.

In addition to issuing these "alerts," NERC's Events Analysis team also issues a set of recommendations directly to the entities involved after a system disturbance, offering expert perspective on reliability improvements.

Working with teams in each of NERC's eight regions, NERC experts can analyze anywhere from 30 to 100 events each year.
