2024 Performance Assessment Highlights ERO Enterprise Collaboration, Innovation, and Improved Grid Performance

WASHINGTON, D.C.- As industry continues to experience unprecedented transformation in system planning, design, operation, and security, NERC has continued to target existing risks, identify and address new and emerging risks, engage with new and existing stakeholders, and navigate jurisdictional intricacies to ensure grid reliability and security. These activities, carried out by NERC and its six Regional Entities (collectively the ERO Enterprise),are highlighted in NERC's 2024 Performance Assessment​, filed with FERC today.

This assessment reflects stakeholder feedback and demonstrates that NERC's efforts-in collaboration with the ERO Enterprise, existing and new stakeholder groups, and governmental authorities-during the 2019-2023 assessment period resulted in high and improving grid performance. The unique nature of the regional model and the North American footprint enables the ERO Enterprise to anticipate, adapt, and respond to the transforming reliability and security environment, while identifying new risks, complexities, and mitigations. The ERO Enterprise's collaboration and efforts are producing critical analyses with positive results.

Over the five years of the assessment period, the ERO Enterprise achieved notable successes toward ensuring reliability and set the stage for the continued advancement of reliability, resilience, and security in support of the needs of nearly 400 million people in North America.
