The NAGF has moved!

Welcome to the North American Generator Forum
The North American Generator Forum (NAGF) was founded in 2009 as a vehicle for generator owners and/or operators to address issues related to registration, compliance, standards development and other NERC-related topics. In 2013, the North American Generator Forum, Inc. became a non-profit, dues-based corporation.
We provide entities who are generator owners and operators in North America a means to collaborate and communicate with FERC, NERC, the Regional Entities, the Canadian Provinces and other organizations with missions similar to ours, with the ultimate goal of improving the reliability of the bulk power system.

MOD-025, 26, 27 pre/post-Commercial Operation Date (COD)?
The question is, for your new generation builds e.g. Combined Cycle Plants, do you perform your MOD-025, 26, 27 pre-COD? If yes, were there any concerns you had to account for?

Use of monitoring to reduce required maintenance activities for PRC-005-6

Is anyone using the allowance and, if so, what are your requirements for the "location" specified, i.e. is your "location" required to be ...
