Background Information:

The Backup Facilities Standard Drafting Team (BFSDT) has made significant changes to the second posting of EOP-008-1 based on comments received from the industry. Major changes included:

  • A revision to the applicability of the Transmission Operator (Section 4.1.2). This was done to attempt to eliminate the burden on a Transmission Operatorthat just has a radial connection to the BES under 200 kVunless the Regional Entity deems them as a critical part of the Interconnection.
  • Changing the transition timeframes so that they are equivalent for all applicable entities. (R1.5)
  • A short description of what needs to be in the Operating Process. (R1.6)

In addition, VRFs, Time Horizons, Measures, Compliance elements including VSLs, and an Implementation Plan have been supplied with this version.
