March 6, 2019 Charlotte, NC / WebEx

Agenda

SERC is committed to providing training and non-binding guidance to industry stakeholders regarding emerging and revised Reliability Standards. However, compliance depends on a number of factors including the precise language of the Standard, the specific facts and circumstances, and the quality of evidence. The agenda allows time for Q&A after each presentation. Therefore, times listed may vary. WebEx begins at 1:30 p.m. (Eastern). Those who attend the entire seminar will receive a participation certificate. The certificate does not satisfy educational requirements such as NERC continuing education hours .
