Events Analysis: Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Procedure


The NERC TLR Procedure is an Eastern Interconnection-wide process that allows reliability coordinators to mitigate potential or actual operating security limit violations while respecting transmission service reservation priorities. A TLR log contains the details of TLR incidents reported by reliability coordinators who are required to complete the logs whenever they invoke TLR Level 2 or above.

For information about the TLR procedure and transmission service priorities, please refer to NERC reliability standard IRO-006-4 - Reliability Coordination - Transmission Loading Relief.
