It is NERC’s policy and practice to obey the antitrust laws and to avoid all conduct that unreasonably restrains competition. This policy requires the avoidance of any conduct that violates, or that might appear to violate, the antitrust laws. Among other things, the antitrust laws forbid any agreement between or among competitors regarding prices, availability of service, product design, terms of sale, division of markets, allocation of customers or any other activity that unreasonably restrains competition.

EOP-011-1 Definition Revision
Proposed revised definitions:Energy Emergency - A condition when a Load-Serving Entity or Balancing Authority has exhausted all other resource options and can no longer meet its expected Load obligations.
This defined term was revised to provide clarity that an Energy Emergency is not necessarily limited to a Load-Serving Entity.
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY25
EOP-011-1 Definition Revision
This defined term, or variations of it, is also used in the instances below. The EOP SDT does not believe that the proposed revisions change the reliability intent of these standard or definitions.• BAL-002-WECC – Contingency Reserve• IRO-005-3.1a — Reliability Coordination — Current Day
Operations • MOD-004-1 — Capacity Benefit Margin• INT-004-3 – Dynamic Transfers• Defined term Emergency Request for Interchange

FERC Directives
FERC DirectivesIn the development of the proposed EOP-011-1 reliability standard, the EOP SDT addressed the outstanding FERC directives in Order No. 693 related to Emergency Operations and planning.
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY39
FERC Directives
EOP-001-1 Emergency Operations Planning: • Include reliability coordinators as an applicable entity.• Consider Southern California Edison’s and Xcel’s suggestions in the
standard development process.• Clarify that the 30-minute requirement in requirement R2 to state
that Load shedding should be capable of being implemented as soon as possible but no more than 30 minutes.
• Includes definitions of system states (e.g., normal, alert, emergency), criteria for entering into these states. And the authority that will declare them.
• Consider a pilot program (field test) for the system states proposal.• Clarifies that the actual emergency plan elements, and not the “for
consideration” elements of Attachment 1, should be the basis for compliance.
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY40
FERC Directives
EOP-002-2 Capacity and Energy Emergencies: • Address emergencies resulting not only from insufficient
generation but also insufficient Transmission capability, particularly as it affects the implement of the capacity and energy Emergency plan.
• Include all technically feasible resource options, including demand response and generation resources.
• Ensure the TLR procedure is not used to mitigate actual IROL violations.
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY41
FERC Directives
EOP-003-1 Load Shedding Plans: • Develop specific minimum Load shedding capability that should
be provided and the maximum amount of delay before Load shedding can be implemented based on overarching nationwide criteria that take into account system characteristics.
• Require periodic drills of simulated Load shedding.• Suggest a review of industry best practices in determining
nationwide criteria.• Consider comments from APPA and ISO-NE in the standards
development process.
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY42
FERC Directives
• Order No. 693 at P 573 “Demand response covers considerably more resources than interruptible load. Accordingly, the Commission directs the ERO to modify the Reliability Standard to include all technically feasible resource options in the management of emergencies. These options should include generation resources, demand response resources and other technologies that meet comparable technical performance requirements.”
• Order No. 693 at P 595: “The Commission directs the ERO to address the minimum load and maximum time concerns of the Commission through the Reliability Standards development process.”
RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY43
FERC Directives
• Order No. 693 at P 548: “Further we agree with SoCal Edison that clear direction is needed on which requirements should be exclusive to transmission operators and balancing authorities with the reliability coordinator being responsible for incorporating this information into its overarching plan. Accordingly, the Commission finds the reliability coordinator is a necessary entity under EOP-001-0 and directs the ERO to modify the Reliability Standard to include the reliability coordinator as an applicable entity. In addition, the ERO should consider SoCal Edison’s suggestion in the ERO’s Reliability Standards development process..”
