The Federal Power Act, as modified by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to complete a study of electric transmission congestion every three years. DOE issued the first “National Electric Transmission Congestion Study” (Congestion Study) in August 2006. “)
- North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), “Special Report: Electric Industry Concerns on the Reliability Impacts of Climate Change Initiatives” (November 2008) (press release). Per NERC, its “mission is to ensure the reliability of the bulk power system in North America. To achieve that, NERC develops and enforces reliability standards; assesses adequacy annually via a 10-year forecast and winter and summer forecasts; monitors the bulk power system; audits owners, operators, and users for preparedness; and educates, trains, and certifies industry personnel. NERC is a self-regulatory organization, subject to oversight by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and governmental authorities in Canada.”
