Florida Reliability Coordinating Council

[1] NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965.

The FRCC’s mission was to ensure that the bulk power system in Peninsular Florida is reliable, adequate and secure.

The FRCC served as a regional entity with delegated authority from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) for the purpose of proposing and enforcing reliability standards within the FRCC Region.

The FRCC footprint was electrically unique in that it is tied to the interconnection on only one side.

Areas west of the Apalachicola River stayed within the SERC Region.

The three major and two minor NERC Interconnections, and the nine NERC Regional Reliability Councils.
