ABOUT NPCC

Northeast Power Coordinating Council, Inc. (“NPCC”) is a not-for-profit corporation in the state of New York responsible for promoting and enhancing the reliability of the international, interconnected bulk power system in Northeastern North America. NPCC is one of six Regional Entities which, together with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (“NERC”), make up the Electric Reliability Organization Enterprise. NPCC operates under a delegation agreement with NERC. This agreement recognizes that NPCC meets the qualifications for delegation of certain roles, responsibilities and authorities of a cross-border regional entity as defined by Section 215 of the Federal Power Act in the U.S. and through Canadian provincial regulatory and/or governmental Memoranda of Understanding (“MOUs”) or Agreements.

NPCC carries out this mission through (i) the development of regional reliability standards and compliance assessment and enforcement of continent-wide and regional reliability standards, coordination of system planning, design and operations, and assessment of reliability, (collectively, “regional entity activities”), and (ii) the establishment of regionally-specific criteria, and monitoring and enforcement of compliance with such criteria (collectively, “criteria services activities”). NPCC provides the functions and services for Northeastern North America of a cross-border Regional Entity through its regional entity division, as well as regionally-specific criteria services for Northeastern North America through its criteria service’s division.
