Meeting Debrief:
The Québec monitoring and enforcement mandatory regime of Reliability Standards (RS) begins on April 1,
2015 when 12 RS come into effect. Only one entity, HQCMÉ, is subject to these RS in its functions of
Reliability Coordinator (RC), Balancing Authority (BA) and Transmission Operator (TOP) (for more details
please refer to the Régie’s order D-2014-216 issued on December 19, 2014).
The mandatory regime requires that the registered entity must comply with effective RS.
The purpose of the meeting was to present to HQCMÉ:
-
the Québec monitoring and enforcement mandatory regime of RS;
-
the Québec 2015 Implementation Plan;
-
the temporary solution for the filing of documents which support the mandatory regime and are
required in the Implementation Plan.
The 2015 Québec Implementation Plan, document issued by NPCC – the organisation whose services have
been retained by the Régie, presents the tools used to ensure compliance enforcement with RS. A schedule
for the filing of documents, in relation to the mandatory regime, is also shown in the plan, and hence the
necessities of putting in place a document filing system at the Régie.
Next, the developed temporary solution for document filing was presented to HQCMÉ; it consists of filing of
documents in the Régie’s Système de dépôt électronique (the SDE) in the dockets especially created for RS
compliance enforcement. The steps to follow were presented to the personnel of HQCMÉ and NPCC, each of
them having a docket, or working space, in the SDE.
