Q:

5. Does the proposed regional reliability standard/variance meet at least one of the following criteria?

  • The proposed standard/variance has more specific criteria for the same requirements covered in a continent-wide standard.

  • The proposed standard/variance has requirements that are not included in the corresponding continent-wide reliability standard.

  • The proposed regional difference is necessitated by a physical difference in the bulk power system.

A: Yes

  • The proposed standard/variance has more specific criteria for the same requirements covered in a continent-wide standard.

Yes the variance has more specific criteria for voltage schedules and generator reference points.

  • The proposed standard/variance has requirements that are not included in the corresponding continent-wide reliability standard.

Yes in that the variance doesn’t have allowance for exemption criteria and includes transmission operator requirements for submitting data.
