52 Pa. Code § 57.193 - Transmission system reliability
(a)
An electric distribution company shall install and maintain its transmission
facilities, and ensure that its transmission facilities are operated, in
conformity with the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Safety
Code. An electric distribution company shall operate its transmission
facilities in conformity with the operating policies, criteria, requirements
and standards of NERC and the appropriate regional reliability council, or
successor organizations, and other applicable requirements.
(b) The reliability of an electric
distribution company's transmission service provided to wholesale customers,
such as electric cooperative corporations and municipal corporations, shall be
comparable to the reliability which the transmission supplier provides at the
wholesale level, taking into account the nature of each service area in which
electricity is delivered to the customer, the delivery voltage and the
configuration and length of the circuit from which electricity is
delivered.
(c) An electric
distribution company shall submit to the Commission, on or before May 31, 1999,
and May 31 of each succeeding year, information concerning the performance of
the transmission system, as built and operated, to serve a fully competitive
generation market efficiently. The report shall include available transfer
capability, total transfer capability and the use, in general, of the
transmission system. The report shall include an assessment of the past
performance of the transmission system and an appraisal of future transmission
system performance. In complying with this requirement, electric distribution
companies operating under a single system operator may submit a joint report by
an independent system operator, or other appropriate transmission system
operator.
