Our History
In 2007, shortly before the NERC Reliability Standards became mandatorily enforceable, Utility Services was formed as a service organization to assist companies in the Electric Reliability Organization’s (“ERO”) compliance and reliability efforts. Under the ERO, registered entities are obligated to demonstrate compliance and operate reliably through specific performance requirements approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). We offer the development and maintenance of compliance programs and can represent you in an audit or similar engagement from audit staff, in addition to other services needed to advance your reliability position.
USV Mission: to design, implement, and maintain solutions that support a reliable, resilient, and secure bulk power system
Utility Services is proud to be a part of ensuring the reliability of the bulk power system to maintain our way of life. Our work ensures that you are meeting these goals in the most efficient manner possible depending on the specific needs of your organization. USV also offers solutions to advance the reliability of non-NERC registered entities, such as our Business Continuity Plans and corporate policy assessments.
Custom compliance programs built on decades of experience and industry participation
Utility Services can build and maintain your compliance program in the most efficient and effective manner possible. USV continues to participate in most aspects of the ERO, including the NERC standing committees, monitoring the leadership committees, and participating, monitoring, and voting on Reliability Standards in development, as well as engaging with the Regional Entities.
We’ll help you understand what auditors are looking for and ensure that you are meeting the requirements of all the standards to which you are applicable.
Serving Clients Continent-Wide
USV serves clients in all six NERC Regions in the US and Canada and assists publicly owned utilities, transmission owners/operators, generation owners/operators, and distribution providers/load serving entities. USV also serves entities who are not registered in the NERC programs by offering “best practices” solutions to advance their reliability, security, and good utility practice.
