FERC Issues Delegated Letter Order Approving Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03

Summary:

FERC's approval addressed NERC and SERC's proposed retirement of Requirement R1 of currently effective regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02; incorporation of the existing frequency set points that entities in the former Florida Reliability Coordinating Council Regional Entity have in place; and providing a second method for calculating the percent of load shed based on these entities’ existing practices. In addition, FERC approved NERC and SERC's proposed modification of Requirement R2, Part 2.6 to clarify the language of the requirement as well as the retirement of Requirement R7 in the currently effective version of the regional Reliability Standard.

Additional Discussion:

SERC Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 is not a stand-alone standard, but was written to be followed in conjunction with NERC Standard PRC-006-1. The primary focus of SERC Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 is to provide region-specific requirements for the implementation of the higher tier NERC standard requirements with the goals of a) adding clarity and b) providing for consistency and a coordinated UFLS scheme for the SERC Region as a whole. Generally speaking, requirements already in the NERC standard were not repeated in the SERC standard. Therefore, both the NERC and SERC standards must be followed to ensure full compliance.
