The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) is a not-for-profit organization that works to effectively and efficiently mitigate risks to the reliability and security of the Western Interconnection’s Bulk Power System. WECC operates under a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved delegation agreement with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and in accordance with WECC’s Bylaws. WECC promotes bulk power system reliability and security in the Western Interconnection. WECC is the Regional Entity responsible for compliance monitoring and enforcement and oversees reliability planning and assessments. In addition, WECC provides an environment for the development of Reliability Standards and the coordination of the operating and planning activities of its members as set forth in the WECC Bylaws. There are six Regional Entities given authority by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Of those six entities, WECC oversees the largest and most geographically diverse region, known as the Western Interconnection. WECC’s footprint extends from Canada to Mexico and includes the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, and all or portions of the 14 Western states between.
