How often does an energy deficient entity need to communicate with the Reliability Coordinator until an alert is resolved?

An energy deficient entity is required to communicate with the Reliability Coordinator at least once every hour until the alert is resolved. This requirement is in place to ensure that the Reliability Coordinator is kept informed of the situation and can monitor the status of the energy deficiency closely. Regular communication allows for timely interventions and support to be provided, if necessary, to stabilize the grid and maintain reliability. The hourly communication frequency ensures that both the energy deficient entity and the Reliability Coordinator can collaboratively manage the risks associated with the deficiency and work towards resolving the issue efficiently.
