ER14 provides a framework for impacted stakeholders and members of the public to submit comments and complaints to the RRC for consideration and due handling. ER14 became effective on May 17, 2024.
On September 30, 2024, the RRC Board of Directors issued a Directive to initiate a review of the Documents Retention and Access Rule (ER3) and the Confidential Documents and Access Rule (ER4). In response to this directive, the Chief Administrative Officer will establish a Work Group to review these rules and other relevant organizational documents and develop recommended revisions for Board action and subsequent filing with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska.

This is a new unique standard, not based on an AK consensus or NERC standard.
The RRC's active Tariff as approved by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA).
ER6 and ER7 were amended, through a working group process, to address inefficiencies regarding the timeline for distributing meeting materials. The revisions were filed with the RCA on November 13, 2024.
On November 15, 2024, the RRC filed its final 2025 proposed budget, surcharge, and tariff update with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA).
The Regulatory commission of Alaska (RCA) opened a docket to investigate the RRC's proposed 2024 budget and surcharge. The docket was closed on June 14, 2024.
This standard ensures the Balancing Authority or Reserve Sharing Group balances resources and demand and returns the Balancing Authority's or Reserve Sharing Group's Area Control Error to defined values (subject to applicable limits) following a Reportable Balancing Contingency Event.
This standard ensures generators provide reactive support and voltage control, within generating Facility capabilities, in order to protect equipment and maintain reliable operation of the Interconnection.
This standard is to ensure that Timer Error Corrections are conducted in a manner that does not adversely affect the reliability of the Interconnection.
This standard establishes requirements for Balancing Authority Automatic Generation Control (AGC) necessary to calculate Area Control Error (ACE) and to routinely deploy the Regulating Reserve.
This standard defines a process for monitoring Balancing Authorities to ensure that, over the long-term, balancing Authority Areas do not excessively depend on other Balancing Authority areas in the Interconnection for meeting their demand or Interchange obligations.
This standard states is to establish common criteria for each BA for a planning methodology based on the single largest unit contingency and an appropriate reserve margin or reserve criteria. The analysis, assessment, and documentation of Resource Adequacy, shall include Planning Reserve Margins for meeting system load both real and reactive within the Railbelt System.
To establish common criteria, based on “one day in ten year” loss of Load expectation principles, for the analysis, assessment, and documentation of Resource Adequacy for Load in the ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RF) region

To avoid adverse impacts on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System, Transmission Owners and applicable Generator Owners must document and make Facility interconnection requirements available so that entities seeking to interconnect will have the necessary information.
To study the impact of interconnecting new or changed Facilities on the Bulk Electric System.
This standard defines coordination between Balancing Authorities to prevent transfer between Balancing Areas exceeding established limits.
This Standard details the resource or load interconnection requirements and process for the Railbelt region.
This standard establishes design and documentation requirements for automatic underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) programs to arrest declining frequency, assist recovery of frequency following underfrequency events, and provide last resort system preservation measures.
This standard describes services, responsibilities and requirements for the Reliability Coordinator (RC).
This standard governs Load Balancing Authority (LBA) reserve allocation requirements and allocation of reserves.
This standard establishes Transmission system planning performance requirements within the planning horizon to develop a System that will operate reliably over a broad spectrum of conditions and following a wide range of probable Contingencies applicable to the portions of the Bulk Electrical System (BES) used to supply power to or from major load and generation centers.
This standard ensures that voltage levels, reactive flows, and reactive resources are monitored, controlled, and maintained within limits in real-time to protect equipment and the reliable operation of the Interconnection.
This standard ensures generators provide reactive support and voltage control, within generating Facility capabilities, in order to protect equipment and maintain reliable operation of the Interconnection.
