When shall the Reliability Coordinator share its next day analysis with Transmission Operators and Balancing Authorities?

The Reliability Coordinator plays a crucial role in ensuring that the electric grid operates reliably and efficiently, especially in preventing violations of Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits (IROLs). The requirement for the Reliability Coordinator to share its next day analysis with Transmission Operators and Balancing Authorities revolves around timely communication for maintaining system reliability.

When action is needed to prevent an IROL violation, the Reliability Coordinator must promptly inform Transmission Operators and Balancing Authorities of the analysis results. This communication is vital to ensure that all entities involved can take necessary actions to maintain reliable grid operations and prevent conditions that could lead to outages or operational failures.

The focus on sharing information specifically when action is required emphasizes the proactive stance that is essential in the reliability framework. It reflects a scenario where immediate awareness and response are necessary, rather than a routine or scheduled release that might not address urgent needs. This aligns with the operational philosophy of prioritizing real-time information sharing in the context of reliability standards and obligations within the power sector.
