Abstract :
This paper presents the monitoring and enforcing of reliability standards. FERC´s 2004-2008 strategic plan´s goal is to promote a secure, high-quality, environmentally responsible infrastructure through consistent policies. Electric reliability is a top initiative supporting that goal. The Division of Reliability will monitor and address issues related to the nation´s interstate transmission network and bulk power supply needs. The Division of Reliability consists of three groups: planning, operations and logistics and security. These three groups are discussed in the paper.
