FERC’S RELIABILITY TEAM April 14, 2004

Purpose Improve bulk grid reliability for next summer Improve bulk system reliability for the long term Assure that reliability complements and improves markets, and vice versa Learn from past reliability failures, and don’t repeat them

Short-term priorities Reliability readiness audits, supporting NERC effort Work with NERC to improve reliability standards – scope, clarity, measurability, enforceability Bi-national blackout investigation On-going work incorporating reliability considerations into rules and cases Building staff for new group

Long-term priorities Build excellent reliability team staff and long-term capabilities in Reliability team and broader agency Build federal-state partnership for reliability regulation on issues like vegetation management Build partnership with Canada, NERC and industry to assure strong, consistent bi- national reliability rules and implementation Improve bulk grid reliability and security

Some specific initiatives 20 reliability readiness audits to date FirstEnergy reliability study (done 4/30/04) Learning from the blackout – planning May conference with DOE, Canada, NERC, industry on reliability standards and schedule Working with NERC on reliability standards revision and compliance templates (12/04) Working with NRC on grid reliability and nuclear plant needs

R&D initiatives Transmission vegetation management (3/04) Quantity and cost of needed spare transformers (5/04) Understanding technology risk and prudence (5/04) SCADA Cyber-security (7/04) Gas pipeline disruption impacts and reallocation (on-going) Operator training Lake Erie Loop – problem, implications and solution options
