NPCC Dedicated to the continued reliability of the bulk power system in Northeastern North America
NPCC activities are organized into Program Areas. The Regional Entity Division includes Program Areas for Standards, Reliability Assessment and Performance Analysis (RAPA), Compliance, and Situational Awareness and Infrastructure Security (SAIS). The Criteria Services Division focuses on NPCC Regional Criteria.
Standards & Criteria
NPCC creates Regional Standards to enhance the reliability of the international, interconnected bulk power system in Northeastern North America. NPCC also creates Regionally specific reliability criteria that are necessary to implement, to augment, or to comply with NERC Reliability Standards, but which are not Reliability Standards.
