NERC discussion - 'This writer is correct -- looking at the raw data is quite interesting in regards to the NERC ftp site which is at: nerc.com and ftp://ftp.nerc.com/pub/sys/all_updl/docs/y2k -- Roleigh ---------------------------------------------------------- garynorth.com Gary North's Y2K Links and Forums Category: Power_Grid Date: 1999-02-09 07:23:55 Subject: NERC's Statistics: More Bad News Comment: I received this e-mail on February 9. * * * * * * * * * * * Thanks a great article - but the writer missed the worst part of what's in the NERC November98.XLS worksheet. (It's on the public/Y2K area of their FTP: site) I downloaded their worksheet and went directly to the worksheet named "db". That's where the raw stats are. Each bulk power provider was given a code number for ID and the NERC region was listed for each reporting member. After reconfiguring the database by sorting by region I was shocked. Yes, the mathmatical average is 44% complete with Testing & Remediation. That's bad enough. But the bottom 40% of all members averaged 38% complete. In the MAIN Nerc Region (Mid-American Interconnected Network), which covers all of Illinois, there are 14 members. Five showed 0% complete and the bottom seven averaged 11% complete. That region is approximately 50-50 Nuclear/Coal. That's in the Eastern Interconnection. NERC's WSCC Region (basically the entire Western Interconnection) is in bad shape, according to their survey. The bottom 40% is less that 35% complete. These results were very consistent throughout each NERC Region (other than MAIN which may the the flashpoint for the Domino Effect on the power grid). The ERCOT Interconnection (Texas) isn't any different. . . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roleigh Martin ourworld.compuserve.com ( easy to remember alias is: webalias.com ) (A Web Site that focuses on Y2k threat to Utilities, Banks & more) To subscribe to free e-letter, fill in the form at the bottom of the page: ourworld.compuserve.com To unsubscribe, send blank subject and blank message to roleigh_for_web-unsubscribe@egroups.com Print out this Y2K brochure to give to your neighbors, friends & relatives: ourworld.compuserve.com Special Offer: egroups.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roleigh Martin ourworld.compuserve.com ( easy to remember alias is: webalias.com ) (A Web Site that focuses on Y2k threat to Utilities, Banks & more) To subscribe to free e-letter, fill in the form at the bottom of the page: ourworld.compuserve.com To unsubscribe, send blank subject and blank message to roleigh_for_web-unsubscribe@egroups.com Print out this Y2K brochure to give to your neighbors, friends & relatives: ourworld.compuserve.com Special Offer: egroups.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create an e-mail group for your baseball team.
