NERC

Utilities face an increasing range of mandatory NERC compliance obligations across all families of reliability standards. Changes are ongoing in areas including Protection Relay and Control (PRC), Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), Transmission Planning (TPL), System Modelling (MOD), and Facilities Design, Connection and Maintenance (FAC). These continually evolving regulatory requirements require careful monitoring to effectively manage risk. TRC’s subject matter experts help you stay current with and understand the many interrelated NERC requirements across numerous standards families.
