Reliability Coordinator – Actively Monitored Standards

Below is a summary of NERC standards being actively monitored for a Reliability Coordinator (RC). Currently, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is the region’s sole RC.

This summary is being provided to you as a courtesy. Texas Reliability Entity, Inc. (Texas RE) recommends that you refer to the 2010 Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program Requirements (CMEP) Spreadsheet on the NERC Web site for the complete set of standards and requirements that are actively monitored. To find the spreadsheet, go to Compliance, then Resources. Select Resource Documents on the left navigation bar. From the list, select 2010 Actively Monitored Reliability Standards.

To find the NERC Reliability Standards, visit Reliability Standards on the NERC site.

To find the Texas RE implementation plan for its NERC CMEP program, please visit the Compliance page.
