On December 14, 2009, NERC submitted proposed Regional Reliability Standard, BAL-502-RFC-02, Planning Resource Adequacy Analysis, Assessment, and Documentation, and four associated new definitions to FERC for approval. NERC explains that the proposed Regional Reliability Standard and defined terms were approved by the NERC Board of Trustees during its August 5, 2009, meeting. NERC requests that the standard be made effective upon it being approved by FERC. To view NERC’s submittal, click here.
