NERC Reliability Standards Compliance Strategies
--December 6, 2006 – 10:00 AM Pacific/1:00 PM Eastern


On December 6th, AssurX will be hosting a Webinar covering strategies for dealing with the soon to be mandatory NERC reliability standards. Subject matter experts from AssurX and from industry will look at the current state of affairs and discuss compliance strategies. AssurX will then demonstrate a working compliance tracking system.

On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which authorizes the creation of an electric reliability organization (ERO) with the statutory authority to enforce compliance with reliability standards among all market participants.  The North America Electric Reliability Council (NERC) is working closely with industry stakeholders, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and regulators in Canada to implement the provisions of the reliability legislation.

The electric industry is adjusting to the change of a voluntary system of compliance with reliability standards to a new mandatory system of reliability standards and compliance that would be backstopped in the United States by FERC. Many utilities in the Transmission & Distribution (T&D) fields have never been under this kind of scrutiny and have to adjust to this new regulated environment being imposed by FERC.

This Webinar will show how proactive utilities are implementing systems to ensure that they are compliant and are not going to end up on a NERC watch list. A robust compliance tracking system for scheduling and conducting internal reviews, assigning remediation tasks, monitoring new and revised standards, managing filings and self-certification forms will be demonstrated.

The Webinar will be followed by a Q&A open session.

Who Should Attend:

The presentations will benefit a wide range of industry members, including regulatory, quality, compliance and power/transmission executives and managers.
