Status
An informal comment period for the Project 2025-01 Canadian-Specific Revisions to EOP-012-3 Standard Authorization Request (SAR) is open through 8 p.m. Eastern, Thursday, June 26, 2025. Additionally, nominations are being sought for drafting team members through 8 p.m. Eastern, Thursday, June 26, 2025.
Background
Registered entities from across Canada have stated that the EOP-012 Reliability Standard poses compliance difficulties for Canadian entities due to the differences between Canadian and United States regulatory environments. Canadian entities have also identified issues with how the EOP-012 standard may be applied in their consistently cold climates. This SAR seeks Canadian-specific revisions to the proposed EOP-012-3 Reliability Standard that would be designed to reflect the geographical differences that are present in Canada where peak demand typically occurs during winter months and where generating units are economically constrained to be suitable for winter operation and address differences in regulatory frameworks that make several of the FERC-directed changes in EOP-012 for the U.S. impractical to implement in the Canadian jurisdictions.
