Refer to the Regional Reliability Standards Development section for information on the process and to access current Standard Drafting Team efforts.

Texas Reliability Entity, Inc. (Texas RE) reliability standards will apply to the reliable operation and planning of the bulk-power system (BPS) in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. Future regional standards published in this section will apply to entities in the ERCOT region whose functional NERC registration appears in the list of applicability associated with each standard, regardless of membership in the region. Regional reliability standards are approved by the Texas RE Board, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Federal Energy Reliability Commission (FERC), and become part of the body of NERC Reliability Standards.

Regional reliability standards provide for as much uniformity as possible relative to NERC Reliability Standards. The regional reliability standards go beyond, add detail to, or implement NERC Reliability Standards, or cover matters not addressed in NERC Reliability Standards.
