encouraged to read the report in its entirety, with special attention to the findings relative to inverter-based generation resources\u00a0 (solar, wind) and protection system misoperations, to obtain a sense of which reliability risk \u00a0issues NERC is focusing \u00a0to guide its future regulatory activities.<\/p>\n<p>NERC regulatory activities focus principally on the minimum expectations that must be met by utilities to preserve reliability. It is important to stay ahead of changes to the NERC regulatory framework as it responds to the proliferation of challenges to power system reliability in North America. To successfully maintain responsiveness to changes in the regulatory framework, TRC recommends continual observation and engagement with regulatory bodies such as NERC. TRC can provide an independent review of your asset management (e.g. protection systems and substation assets) and NERC regulatory compliance programs, including internal controls to help your company meet the expectations of NERC.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact Us<\/a><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-related-materials -->\n<section class=\"material-cards bg-purple-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid js-animated-content animated-content\">\n        <div class=\"material-cards__headlines has-limited-item js-animated-content animated-content\">\n            <div class=\"material-card__content js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                <h3>Resources<\/h3>\n<p>This regulatory update is a service to TRC\u2019s utility clients, helping keep you informed of issues that impact your company\u2019s electric system security risks along with related topics regarding future regulatory developments to help you achieve your company\u2019s business goals.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"material-card__link\">\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row  js-related-marterial-container \" data-item=\"3\">\n                        <div class=\"col-xxs-12 col-lg-4 material-card-item\">\n                <div class=\"material-card\">\n                                            <div class=\"material-card__details \">\n                            <h5 class=\"material-card__title\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/picture_as_pdf_24dp-black.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"picture_as_pdf_24dp-black\" \/>                                NERC 2020 State of Reliability Report                            <\/h5>\n                            <p class=\"material-card__description\">Publi\u00e9 juillet 1, 2020<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"material-card__bttn\">\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/NERC_SOR_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span>t\u00e9l\u00e9charger le fichier<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sim_card_download_24dp-black.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"sim_card_download_24dp-black\" \/><\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"material-cards__bottom text-right hidden-lg\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/innerpage-related-materials -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-promotion-blocks -->\n\n<section class=\"image-cta\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2001\" height=\"1499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690.jpg\" class=\"image-cta-bg object-fit\" alt=\"GettyImages-1168041690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690.jpg 2001w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-1168041690-801x600.jpg 801w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2001px) 100vw, 2001px\" \/>    <div class=\"image-cta-back-curve\">\n        <span class=\"top\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"bottom\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"left\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"right\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"image-cta-front-curve\">\n        <span class=\"top\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"bottom\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"left\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"right\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"image-cta-overlay\">\n        <div class=\"image-cta-content js-animated-content animated-content\">\n            <h2>About US<\/h2>\n<p>TRC\u2019s approach to power system planning and design balances solutions incorporate appropriate standards, regulatory requirements, best practices, operational goals and budgets.
