    AUGUST 2020 “The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” -Socrates MIDWEST RELIABILITY MATTERS Inside This Issue CEO MESSAGE 3 CEO Message 6 Corporate Values 8 Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program 22 Registration, Certification and Standards 25 Bulk Power System Reliability 26 Tips and Lessons Learned 31 Security Corner 36 MRO Interviews the E-ISAC 43 Strategic Update 45 Industry News and Events Midwest Reliability Matters - August 2020 CEO MESSAGE Leading in Uncertain Times What it means to be fearless MRO has undoubtedly undergone a transformation over the past couple of years. We expanded our footprint and doubled the number of registered entities in our region, increased staff such that more than 50 percent have been with the company two years or less, and made several governance changes, including reworking our organizational group structure and increasing the size of our board (notably 14 of 23 directors joined in 2019 or 2020). On top of all of these changes, we (like many others in the industry) transitioned to fully remote work for much longer than anyone would have predicted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of these changes have happened in my short tenure as President and CEO. Late June marked my two year anniversary serving in this role, and as I reflect back on all that has happened during this time, I find myself wondering, “What does it mean to be a fearless leader?” In considering this question, I happened upon the website www.leadfearlessly.com, which describes fearless leaders as those that embrace change, influence and motivate others to become more fearless, to be open to change, and to grow and adapt.

  • 2014 Summer Reliability Assessment
    2014 Summer Reliability Assessment May 2014 NERC | Summer Reliability Assessment | 2013 i of 45 Preface NERC is an international regulatory authority established to evaluate and improve the reliability of the bulk power system (BPS) in North America. NERC develops and enforces Reliability Standards; annually assesses seasonal and long-term (10- year) reliability; monitors the BPS through system awareness; and educates, trains, and certifies industry personnel. NERC is the electric reliability organization (ERO) for North America, subject to oversight by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and governmental authorities in Canada.1 NERC Reliability Standards are the planning and operating rules that electric utilities follow to support and maintain a reliable electric system. These standards are developed by industry using a balanced, open, fair, and inclusive process accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). While NERC does not have authority to set Reliability Standards for resource adequacy (e.g., reserve margin criteria) or to order the construction of resources or transmission, NERC can independently assess where reliability issues may arise and identify emerging risks. This information, along with NERC recommendations, is then available to policy makers and federal, state, and provincial regulators to support decision making within the electricity sector. NERC prepared the following assessment in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, in which the U.S. Congress directed NERC to conduct

Midwest Reliability Matters - April 2021 CEO MESSAGE Ushering in Spring The season of change and revitalization I recently read a poem by Laura Kelly Fanucci that resonates with me. It articulates the resilience we have collectively experienced over the past year and hope for what the future will bring. May we never again take for granted When this ends, A handshake with a stranger May we find Full shelves at the store That we have become Conversations with neighbors More like the people A crowded theater We wanted to be Friday night out We were called to be The taste of communion We hoped to be A routine checkup And may we stay A school rush each morning That way—better Coffee with a friend For each other The stadium roaring Because of the worst Each deep breath A boring Tuesday -Laura Kelly Fanucci Life itself. 3 CEO MESSAGE It’s hard to believe that more than a year ago we first responded to the global COVID-19 pandemic— prioritizing the health and safety of MRO staff and the continuity of operations—while at the same time providing regulatory relief to allow industry to do the same.
