Why the difference in number

  • f Requirements?

NERC looks at each Electric Entity and determines which NERC Functions they must

  • register. Okanogan PUD is registered as:

(TO) Transmission Owner (LSE) Load-Serving Entity (DP) Distribution Provider (PSE) Purchasing and Selling Entity

slide-12
SLIDE 12

What is not different…

  • Once an entity has been registered for its

designated functions, there are no differences in their level of compliance to the Reliability Standards.

 It does not matter if you are Okanogan PUD,

Seattle City Light, or Bonneville Power Administration

slide-13
SLIDE 13

What if there is Non- Compliance?

  • Each requirement and sub-requirement has

an associated monetary penalty, that is associated with it’s level of Risk and Severity.

 These Monetary Penalties range from

$1,000/violation/day TO $1,000,000/violation/day.
