Detailed Agendas Posted for Fall Compliance Seminars

The agendas for the Charlotte and Nashville seminars are posted to the SERC public website under the Compliance, 2010 Program, Outreach link.

August 12, 2010

SERC will be conducting a Distribution Provider and Load-Serving Entity (DP/LSE) Workshop immediately following the conclusion of the Compliance Seminar in Charlotte.   Although the agendas for the Compliance Seminar and DP/LSE Workshop have not been finalized, we anticipate the seminar concluding early afternoon on November 17, 2010, and the DP/LSE Workshop beginning approximately one hour after the conclusion of the seminar.  The DP/LSE Workshop will continue until early afternoon on November 18, 2010.  SERC will also offer the DP/LSE Workshop via web conference. (The Compliance Seminar will not be offered via web conference).

The DP/LSE Workshop is open to all SERC registered entities, but will focus on the standards that are applicable to the Distribution Provider and Load-Serving Entity functions. It is anticipated that the agendas for both the seminar and workshop will be available by late September, however, we wanted to make registered entities aware of this workshop offering now, as many entities have begun making travel arrangements for the November seminar.

The November Compliance Seminar and DP/LSE Workshop will be held in the SERC office, and because of seating limitations, SERC will limit attendance to both the seminar and workshop to the first 100 registrants.
