nErC plans ‘traffic ticket’ approach as it revamps clogged enforcement processes

摘要

North American Electric Reliability Corp. expects to send the nFederal Energy Regulatory Commission a first batch of “admin-nistrative citations” early next year in a move that represents a nmajor shift for an enforcement program that currently treats all nviolations of reliability standards the same, regardless of poten-ntial impacts on the bulk electric system.n”We have had some discussions with the [FERC] enforce-nment staff and reliability staff,” NERC President and CEO Gerry nCauley said earlier this month, and “I think we have an agree-nment on what this administrative citation looks like.”
