Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Public Utilities
Mission: The corporation is a regional entity within the north american reliability corporation (nerc). The general purpose of the corporation is to preserve and enhance the reliability and security of the bulk power system across 13 states and the district of columbia.
Programs: Reliability assurance and compliance monitoring - the reliability assurance and compliance monitoring program identified risks impacting an entity, evaluated the effectiveness of entity internal controls around specific reliability standards and requirements, evaluated an entity's capability in key management practice areas, tailored training centered on the needs of an entity, and monitored compliance to the nerc reliability standards.
assessment - the assessment program analyzed, assessed, and reported on the reliability and adequacy of the bulk electric system within the reliabilityfirst footprint. Staff helped identify and assess risks across the footprint and its deliverables were a major contributor to the risk based efforts of the entire organization. This work included the performance of resource and transmission assessment studies; special analyses and investigations as warranted; and the collection and dissemination of data, lessons learned, and other information.
enforcement - the enforcement program enforced compliance with the reliability standards. This effort involved ensuring that the selected disposition method for any noncompliance was consistent with the risk posed by the noncompliance, was adequately supported by the record in light of the risk posed by the noncompliance; and promoted desired entity behaviors to enhance reliability.
