2019 Assistance Catalog

TRUST

The SERC Assistance program plays an important role in helping to keep registered entities informed, educated, and enabled to maintain and enhance the reliability of the Bulk Electric System. Assistance allows SERC to interact on important issues and utilize the wealth of subject matter expertise available for the direct benefit of the entities. SERC Assistance is a targeted outreach program to directly aid registered entities where they need it the most.

Assistance is designed to maintain and promote a relationship of mutual trust with registered entities by establishing integral positions that clearly articulate and demonstrate value to program participants and the ERO Enterprise. SERC Entity Assistance was built separate from compliance with the purpose of providing guidance and coaching around security and reliability to registered entities by reducing or removing their exposure to risk. The goal is to work with our stakeholders to identify and prioritize risk so that we collaborate effectively to attack the highest priority risks first and then work our way down to lower risks as time and resources permit. We proactively work with our stakeholder to identify risks and communicate potential mitigating actions to take risk off the table. We have been working through the technical committees and outreach to provide training, work- shops, and information that promotes reliability. This effort is more targeted, focused, and tailored to the registered entity receiving the assistance on areas that we believe are high risk. We know that it will require us to build trust and show the value that we can add and are committed to promoting the SERC Company Vision of having a Secure and Reliable bulk power system.
