How quickly must the TOP respond to a request for the voltage schedule?

The Transmission Operator (TOP) is required to respond to a request for the voltage schedule within 30 calendar days. This timeframe is established in the relevant reliability standards to ensure that stakeholders have timely access to important operational data needed for maintaining system reliability. A 30-day response window allows the TOP to gather the necessary information, review it for accuracy, and provide a well-considered response to the request.

The specific period is designed to balance the need for prompt access to information with the practicalities of data collection and analysis within the operational context of electricity transmission. Fulfilling this requirement supports effective coordination among various entities involved in electric grid operations, helping maintain the overall reliability of the system.
