How soon after termination or downgrading of EEA3 should the EDE submit a report to the RC?

The correct timeframe for submitting a report to the Reliability Coordinator (RC) after the termination or downgrading of an EEA3 (Energy Emergency Alert 3) is indeed 2 business days. This requirement is based on the procedures outlined in the NERC standards, which emphasize the importance of timely communication regarding the status of emergencies that could affect the reliability of the bulk electric system.

By requiring the report within 2 business days, it ensures that the RC has up-to-date information to appropriately monitor and manage system reliability. Prompt reporting allows the RC to understand the current state of energy shortages or potential risks and enables better preparedness for future conditions. Adhering to this timeline is crucial for maintaining operational awareness and ensuring that all involved stakeholders can respond effectively to any ongoing or emerging issues.

This requirement also aligns with broader practices in the industry that prioritize quick reporting of significant events or changes to improve reliability and prevent further issues from arising.
