On March 12, 2025, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) filed a joint petition seeking approval of proposed Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-4 (Automatic Time Error Correction), the associated violation risk factors and violation severity levels, the associated implementation plan, and the retirement of currently-effective Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-3. NERC and WECC explain that “the purpose of proposed Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-4 is to maintain Western Interconnection . frequency and ensure that time error accumulation via Primary Inadvertent Interchange payback is conducted in a manner that does not result in a negative impact on reliability.” NERC and WECC state that the proposed standard “improves upon the existing standard. Specifically, NERC and WECC explain that proposed Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-4: (1) expands the background section; (2) creates a Standard-specific definition “Interchange Software” to refer to the software used by balancing authorities to submit Automatic Time Error Correction data to WECC; (3) creates a requirement to use the Interchange Software; (4) addresses how balancing authorities should comply if they do not have a full year of operating data; (5) consolidates and clarifies certain Requirements; and (6) updates the format to NERC’s newest template.
