Upon meeting a reportable threshold, how long does the responsible entity have to report?

When a responsible entity meets a reportable threshold, they are required to report the incident within a time frame that ensures timely communication and risk management. Reporting within 24 hours of meeting this threshold is essential for maintaining reliability within the electric grid and allows other operators and regulators to respond appropriately to potential issues. This time frame provides a balance between the need for prompt reporting and the necessity for entities to gather complete and accurate information for effective communication. Thus, the requirement to report within 24 hours aligns with the guidelines set forth in the reliability standards established by NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation).
