We Share Your Risks—And Your Commitment
Why NAES Is Different
Unlike typical consultants, NAES is a registered NERC entity, which means we’re subject to the same compliance standards and financial consequences as you. This shared responsibility keeps us fully invested in your success. When we help you meet NERC requirements, we’re holding ourselves to the same high bar.
End-to-End Support for NERC Requirements
Integrated Compliance Services
NAES offers a full spectrum of services designed to help you meet NERC and regional reliability standards. We support Generator and Transmission owners/operators, balancing authorities, and distribution providers. Our expertise covers both operational and planning standards, as well as critical infrastructure protection (CIP).
Compliant and Secure Across All Reliability Regions
Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
Protecting the bulk electric system is a top priority for the energy industry. NAES ensures compliance with NERC CIP standards through services such as a CIP v5 documentation library, gap analysis, mock audits, RSAW development, and network security assessments. Our support spans all eight reliability regions.
We Assume Risk. You Gain Confidence
NERC GO/GOP Registration Services
When NAES registers as your Generator Owner or Operator, we assume financial responsibility for any NERC violations. This significantly reduces your exposure to penalties and reputational impact. We serve as your official compliance contact and implement corrective actions as needed.
Sustained Compliance Through Active Management
Ongoing Oversight and Support
NAES performs quarterly site visits to ensure program continuity and regulatory compliance. We provide staff training, evaluate open issues, and oversee critical compliance activities. Our hands-on approach helps maintain alignment with evolving NERC standards.
