  • The Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) was formed January 19, 1966, as a successor to the Canada–United States Eastern Interconnection (CANUSE). It was formed in order to improve reliability of electric service. NPCC is one of six regional entities under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965. NPCC's offices are located in New York City, New York. The NPCC region lies within the Eastern Interconnection and occupies the greater New England region of North America, covering all of the States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the Provinces of Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. NPCC also has ties to non-NERC systems in eastern Canada. In terms of load served, NPCC covers 20% of the Eastern interconnection's total load demand, and 70% of Canada's entire demand. The Hydro-Québec system, which encompasses all of Québec, is commonly considered as part of the Eastern Interconnection even though it technically is a separate interconnection. It is tied to rest of the NPCC and Eastern Interconnection through four high voltage direct current ties. At the time of its formation in 1966, NPCC had 22 utility systems as members. As of 2019, NPCC has 90 members. (en)
  • Le Northeast Power Coordinating Council ou NPCC est un organisme sans but lucratif nord-américain formé en 1966 en réponse à la panne générale de courant qui a affecté la ville de New York le 9 novembre 1965. Son siège social est situé à New York. Il regroupe les opérateurs des réseaux électriques des États du Connecticut, du Maine, du Massachusetts, du New Hampshire, de New York, du Rhode Island et du Vermont et des provinces de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, du Nouveau-Brunswick de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de l'Ontario et du Québec. La zone desservie par les membres du NPCC s'étend sur 3,1 millions de km2 et compte plus de 55 millions d'habitants. À titre de l'un des huit conseils régionaux de fiabilité en Amérique du Nord, le NPCC a le mandat de promouvoir la fiabilité des réseaux électriques de cette région de l'Amérique du Nord, d'établir des normes et critères régionaux. Le NPCC a aussi le mandat d'évaluer l'application des règles et critères nord-américains du North American Electric Reliability Corporation ainsi que les normes régionales sur le réseau de transport principal (bulk) des différents opérateurs actifs des secteurs de la production, du transport et de la distribution électrique. L'adhésion au NPCC est volontaire et elle est ouverte à toute personne ou tout organisme intéressée à l'exploitation fiable du réseau de transport électrique dans le nord-est de l'Amérique du Nord. L'organisme regroupe une cinquantaine de membres responsables de l'exploitation, de la planification, de l'équilibrage et du contrôle des mouvements d'énergie dans le nord-est du continent. (fr)
