Compliance with NERC Emergency Preparedness and Operations Reliability Standard - Coal

North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Emergency Preparedness and Operations (EOP) standard 011-2, was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on August 24, 2021, with an effective date of April 1, 2023. EOP-011-2 includes a requirement to implement and maintain a cold weather preparedness plan for generating units with 7 required elements. EOP-011-2 also includes a requirement for evidence documenting the plan was implemented and maintained as well as evidence that applicable personnel completed training on the cold weather preparedness plan. Due to the risk of weather-related generation asset outages, we performed an evaluation to determine if TVA completed cold-weather plans in accordance with NERC reliability standard for Emergency Preparedness and Operations. We determined TVA generally completed cold-weather plans in accordance with the NERC reliability standard for EOP-011-2. However, we identified minor discrepancies in (1) one cold weather plan, (2) certification letters, and (3) training.
