NERC’s MissionThe North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is an international regulatoryauthority for reliability of the bulk power system in North America. NERC develops andenforces Reliability Standards; assesses adequacy annually via a ten-year forecast and winter andsummer forecasts; monitors the bulk power system; and educates, trains, and certifies industrypersonnel. NERC is a self-regulatory organization, subject to oversight by the United StatesFederal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and governmental authorities in Canada. 1NERC assesses and reports on the reliability and adequacy of the North American bulk powersystem divided into the eight Regions, as shown on the map below (See Table A). 2 The users,owners, and operators of the bulk power system within these areas account for virtually all theelectricity supplied in the United States, Canada, and a portion of Baja California Norte, México.Table A: NERC Regional EntitiesERCOTElectric ReliabilityCouncil of TexasRFCReliabilityFirstCorporationFRCCFlorida ReliabilityCoordinating CouncilSERCSERC ReliabilityCorporationMROMidwest ReliabilityOrganizationSPPSouthwest Power Pool,IncorporatedNote: The highlighted area between SPP and SERCdenotes overlapping Regional area boundaries: Forexample, some load serving entities participate inone Region and their associated transmissionowner/operators in another.NPCCNortheast PowerCoordinating Council, Inc.WECCWestern ElectricityCoordinating Council1 As of June 18, 2007, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) granted NERC the legal authorityto enforce Reliability Standards with all United States users, owners, and operators of the bulk power system, andmade compliance with those standards mandatory and enforceable. Reliability Standards are also mandatory andenforceable in Ontario and New Brunswick, and NERC is seeking to achieve comparable results in the otherCanadian provinces. NERC will seek recognition in Mexico once necessary legislation is adopted.2 Note ERCOT and SPP are tasked with performing reliability self-assessments as they are Regional planning andoperating organizations. SPP-RE (SPP – Regional Entity) and TRE (Texas Regional Entity) are functional entitiesto whom NERC delegates certain compliance monitoring and enforcement authorities.2009 Scenario Reliability Assessment Page i
