Certification
The purpose of a certification is to evaluate the competency of Entities that apply to register or are registered to perform the primary reliability responsibilities inherent to the functions of Balancing Authority (BA), Reliability Coordinator (RC), and Transmission Operator (TOP), and meet or exceed minimum criteria set forth in the NERC Rules of Procedure
Section 500 and Appendix 5A. Implementation of the SERC certification process shall ensure that an organization not already performing the function of BA, RC, or TOP has the tools, processes, training, and procedures that demonstrate its capability to perform effectively the tasks as required by the applicable Reliability Standards for each of the function(s) for which it is applying. In addition, the process will validate the Entity’s ability to become certified and then operational.
