About Utility Services

Utility Services actively monitors all aspects of the NERC programs and requirements to ensure that you have the complete coverage you need.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated the creation of the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO). In May 2007, Utility Services was formed as a service organization to assist companies in the ERO’s compliance and reliability efforts. Under the ERO, registered entities are obligated to demonstrate compliance and operating reliably through specific performance requirements approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Since its inception, Utility Services has provided guidance and assistance on registration, compliance, and standard development to over 100 registered entities in all six NERC regions of the United States and Canada. Our constituents include publicly owned entities, independent generation, and transmission owners. Utility Services has participated in over 200 audits since its inception. To date, our customers have had less than 10 enforcement actions.
