Book ·
OSTI ID:7279050

The National Electric Reliability Council (NERC), formed voluntarily by the electric utility industry in 1968, and incorporated in 1975, directs its efforts to augment the reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply of the electric utility systems in North America. NERC consists of nine regional councils whose memberships comprise essentially all of the electric power systems in the United States and the Canadian systems in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. This eighth annual report summarizes the highlights of the activities of NERC during the past year, with comments on the progress and problems relating to the reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in North America. It also includes reports from each of the nine regional councils and from the North American Power Systems Interconnection committee (NAPSIC), a companion organization which coordinates operating matters to promote and protect the reliability of operation among the electric utility systems of North America, and of the interconnected transmission network.
