RF works to maintain the reliability, security and resilience of the electric grid in the Mid-Atlantic region
About us
ReliabilityFirst works to maintain the reliability, security and resilience of the electric grid across 13 states and the District of Columbia, which stretches from the Atlantic Seaboard to Lake Michigan. The electric grid is the backbone of our economy, is critical for our national security and necessary to support our public welfare. In fact, a reliable and secure electric grid is fundamental to our most basic daily routines and needs. Our mission is to ensure that this cornerstone to our national well-being is reliable and secure – not only for today but also for tomorrow. To achieve this mission, we bring together a diverse and broad spectrum of experts from across the nation with various professional, technical, and industry backgrounds. We identify and prioritize risks facing our electric grid; determine sustainable mitigation strategies to address these identified risks; and develop and deploy communication and outreach strategies to drive awareness and further ensure risk resolution. Our team includes electrical engineers, computer engineers and cyber security experts, statisticians and risk experts, attorneys and regulatory experts, professional auditors, systems engineers, organizational design experts, and professional trainers. ReliabilityFirst is one of only six companies across North America that are responsible for this vital work under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-approved delegation agreements with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). Specifically, our company is responsible for the reliability and security of the electric grid in the Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes areas of the United States, which includes all or portions of Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia. We are proud to call Cleveland, Ohio our home.

NERC has published Prudent Additions Recommendations (Part 2) and Meet and Maintain Recommendations (Part 3), the third in a series of three draft documents that will be merged into the final ITCS, which is being produced in response to the congressional directive in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The document provides an energy margin analysis and resulting recommendations for increases to the transfer capability between Transmission Planning Regions to improve energy adequacy during extreme weather events and discusses how to meet and maintain transfer capability as enhanced by these technically prudent additions. The complete ITCS will be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) by December 2, 2024, and will be followed by a FERC public comment period. A fourth document, a study of transfer capabilities and recommendations for prudent additions from the United States to Canada and between Canadian provinces, will be published in the first quarter of 2025. The #ITCS is crucial to the future of reliability. All project information is available on the ITCS Project page: https://lnkd.in/gvPA-SKf Full announcement: https://ow.ly/vW8R50TZEgH
