Commissioners Neil Chatterjee and Richard Glick Joint Statement
January 19, 2021
Docket No. RM21-12-000
Order: E-5
We support this notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR), which explores potential improvements to the existing framework for the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO), to submit assessments of its performance. Given the important and increasingly complex role the ERO plays in ensuring the reliability of the Bulk Power System, we urge interested parties to submit comments on the proposed reforms. To that end, while we encourage comments on the potential benefits of these proposed reforms, we also encourage interested parties to provide comments on the potential burdens the proposed reforms may impose on the ERO and its Regional Entities.
For these reasons, we respectfully concur.
