NERC Reliability Standards

NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) Reliability Standards are a set of rules designed to ensure the electric grid operates reliably and securely. They establish requirements for utilities and grid operators to prevent outages, manage risks, and maintain consistent power delivery across North America. These standards cover aspects like infrastructure maintenance, emergency response, and system planning. By adhering to these guidelines, organizations help keep the lights on safely and efficiently, minimizing the chance of blackouts and ensuring a stable electricity supply for homes and industries.
