NOTE: Effective August 1, 2007 the Northeast Power Coordinating Council: Cross Border Regional Entity, Inc. was merged with and into the Northeast Power Coordinating Council, Inc. The resultant Northeast Power Coordinating Council, Inc. (to be referred to as NPCC), as the surviving entity of the merger, is the cross-border regional entity and criteria services corporation for Northeastern North America. This website is currently under construction to provide enhancements, however all existing documents and processes are available.

It is the NPCC mission to promote and enhance the reliable and efficient operation of the international, interconnected bulk power system in Northeastern North America through (i) the development of regional reliability standards and compliance assessment and enforcement of continent-wide and regional reliability standards, coordination of system planning, design and operations, and assessment of reliability, pursuant to an agreement with the Electric Reliability Organization ("ERO") which designates NPCC as a regional entity and delegates authority from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"), and by Memoranda of Understanding with applicable Canadian Provincial regulatory and/or governmental authorities (collectively, "statutory activities"), and (ii) the establishment of regionally-specific criteria, and monitoring and enforcement of compliance with such criteria (collectively, "non-statutory criteria services"). In the development of regionally-specific reliability criteria and standards, NPCC, to the extent possible, facilitates attainment of fair, effective and efficient competitive electric markets.

NPCC's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for open, inclusive membership and fair and non-discriminatory governance with the corporation's activities directed by a balanced stakeholder Board of Directors. The geographic area covered by NPCC includes New York State, the six New England States, and the Ontario, Québec, and the Maritime Provinces.
