• Federal Power Act
• Public Utility Holding Company Act
• FPC (the predecessor to FERC) now had
responsibility to provide effective federal
regulation of the expanding business of
transmitting and selling of electric power
in interstate commerce.
• Nov. 1965 - N. E. US & Canada Black Out

FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
NERC is the Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO)
•Organizations were responsible to register and comply
with Reliability Standards based on their functions
•The ERO delegated registration and compliance
monitoring and enforcement to the Regional Entities
(Florida Reliability Coordinating Council - FRCC)
(Southeastern Electric Reliability Council – SERC)
•
•Regional Entities maintain Compliance Registries
listing Entities in their Regions performing various
functions

Future of Reliability Standards
• FERC and NERC have developed an
aggressive plan for the drafting and adoption
of new and revised Standards
• Penalties are now well-established
• The “courtship” period has ended; all
registered entities are to have well-established
compliance programs

27 Recommendations to Industry
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
2011 S.W. US Blackout
Finding 3:
TOPs and RCs should ensure that their next
day studies include all internal and external
facilities (including those below 100 kV) that can
impact BPS reliability.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
2011 S.W. US Blackout
Finding 6:
TOPs should expand the focus of their seasonal
planning to include external facilities and
internal and external sub-100 kV facilities that
impact BPS reliability.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
2011 S.W. US Blackout
Finding 17:
WECC RC and affected TOPs and BAs do not consistently
recognize the adverse impact sub-100 KV facilities can have
on BPS reliability. As a result sub-100 kV facilities might not
be designated as part of the BES, which can leave entities
unable to address the reliability impact they can have in the
planning and operations time horizons. If, prior to September
8, 2011, certain sub-100 KV facilities had been designated
as part of the BES and, as a result, were incorporated into
the TOPs’ and RC’s planning and operations studies, or
otherwise had been incorporated into these studies,
cascading outages may have been avoided on the day of the
event.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
2011 S.W. US Blackout
Recommendation 17:
WECC, as the RE, should lead other entities, including
TOPs and BAs, to ensure that all facilities that can
adversely impact BPS reliability are either designated
as part of the BPS or otherwise incorporated into
planning and operations studies and actively monitored
and alarmed in RTCA systems.

electric utility shall notify the Director of the Division of Safety,
Reliability and Consumer Assistance Commission, in writing, using
Form PSC/SCR 159 (XX/XX) of any event involving an accident
occurring in connection with any part of the electrical system which:

25-6.0345 Safety Standards for Construction of New
Transmission and Distribution Facilities.
Proposed
The Commission adopts and incorporates by reference the 2012
edition of the National Electrical Safety Code (ANSI C-2)
[NESC], as the applicable safety standards for transmission and
distribution facilities subject to the Commission's safety jurisdiction.
Existing
For electrical facilities constructed on or after February 1,2007, the
2007 NESC shall apply. Electrical facilities constructed prior to
February 1,2007, shall be governed by the edition of the NESC
specified by subsections 013 .B.I, 013.8.2, and 013 .B.3 of the
2007 NESC. Each investor-owned electric utility, rural electric
cooperative, and municipal electric system shall, at a minimum,
comply with the standards in these provisions.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
25-6.0346 Quarterly Reports of Work Orders and Safety Compliance
….(1) Each investor-owned electric utility, rural electric cooperative and
municipal electric utility shall report all completed electric work orders,
whether completed by the utility or one of its contractors, at the end of
each quarter of the year. The report shall be electronically filed with
the Director of the Division of Safety, Reliability and Consumer
Assistance no later than the 30th working day after the last day of the
reporting quarter using Form PSC/SRC 157 (xxI12), ……
(2) In its quarterly report, each utility shall identify all transmission and
distribution facilities subject to the Commission's safety jurisdiction, and
shall certify to the Commission that they meet or exceed the applicable
standards. Compliance inspections by the Commission shall be made on
a random basis or as appropriate.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
25-6.060 Meter Test - Refereed Dispute Referee
(1) In the event of a dispute, upon request written application to the Commission
by any customer, a test of the customer's meter will be made by the utility as
soon as practicable.
Said test will be supervised and witnessed by a representative of the
Commission.
(2) A meter shall in no way be disturbed after the utility has received notice that
application has been made for such referee test unless a representative of the
Commission is present or unless authority to do so is first given in writing by the
Commission or by the customer.
(3) A report of the results of the test will be made by the Commission to the
customer.
(4) For equipment tested under this rule, any previous accuracy test result on
record at the time the meter test is requested must be retained in accordance
with Rule 25-6.022, F.A.C.

Rice Rule
On May 22,2012, the Environmental Protection Agency
proposed amendments to the National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
stationary.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
Rice Rule
EPA published its proposed revisions to the RICE
NESHAP in the June 7th’s Federal Register.
The deadline for comments is July 23, 2012, or 30
days after the date of a public meeting if later.
The schedule for completing this rule is part of a
settlement agreement with EnerNOC, which requires
the EPA Administrator to issue a final rule by December
14, 2012.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
Emergency Demand Response and Peak Shaving
• In an emergency demand response situation, RICE may be used to
assure the stability of electrical service. RICE could be called upon to
provide power to a facility and/or to the electrical grid to assure available
power at peak times also known as peak shaving.
• EPA proposes to allow emergency engines to operate for 100 hours per
year without meeting emission limits for the following purposes:
o monitoring and testing,
o demand response for Energy Emergency Alert Level 2
situations, and
o responding to situations when there is at least a five percent or
more change in voltage.
• This amendment would allow emergency engines to participate in
demand response programs with regional electricity wholesale markets
operated by independent system operators and regional transmission
operators.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
Emergency Demand Response and Peak Shaving
• This amendment would allow emergency engines to participate in
demand response programs with regional electricity wholesale
markets operated by independent system operators and regional
transmission operators.
• Demand response programs vary in their requirements and
engines may need to be available for 100 hours per year to
participate in the programs.
• As part of the 100 hours allowed for monitoring and testing,
demand response, and voltage change situations a temporary
allowance of 50 hours per year would be provided for any purpose,
including peak shaving, and may be used until April 2017. This
would apply to units at area sources of hazardous air pollutants.
FERC, NERC, FRCC, FPSC
Emergency Demand Response and Peak Shaving
• If an emergency engine operates for more than 100 hours per
year for non-emergency purposes, the engine will need to meet
emission limits required for non-emergency engines for the life of
the engine.
• The amendments restate that in a true emergency there is no time
limit on use of the engines.
