Overview
SERC Regional Reliability Standards apply to the planning, operation, and critical infrastructure protection of the Bulk Power System in the SERC Region. Proposed SERC Regional Reliability Standards are subject to approval by NERC, as the electric reliability organization, and by FERC before becoming mandatory and enforceable under Section 215 of the FPA. No SERC Regional Reliability Standard is effective within the SERC area unless filed by NERC with FERC and approved by FERC.
The SERC Regional Reliability Standard Development Procedure has the following characteristics:
- Openness – Participation in the development of a SERC Regional Reliability Standard shall be open to all organizations that are directly and materially affected by the SERC bulk power system reliability.
- Balance – The SERC Regional Reliability Standards Development Procedure strives to have an appropriate balance of interests and shall not be dominated by any two interest categories and no single interest category shall be able to defeat a matter.
- Inclusive – Any entity (person, organization, company, government agency, individual, etc.) with a direct and material interest in the bulk power system in the SERC area shall have a right to participate.
- Fair due process – The SERC Regional Reliability Standards Development Procedure provides for reasonable notice and opportunity for public comment.
- Transparent – All actions material to the development of SERC Regional Reliability Standards shall be transparent.
- Due Course – Does not unnecessarily delay development of the proposed SERC Regional Reliability Standard.
