Compliance Monitoring & Enforcement Program (CMEP)
The Midwest Reliability Organization operates under delegated authority as a Cross Border Regional Entity (CBRE) as described in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (“Act”). The CMEP is designed to monitor, assess and enforce compliance with Reliability Standards duly approved by the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) and the regulatory authorities in the United States and Canada. The entities responsible for compliance to the Reliability Standards are referred to as Registered Entities. Registered Entities are owners, operators, and users of the bulk-power system that have at least one functional responsibility defined in any of the approved North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) or MRO Reliability Standards. NERC has been designated as the Electric Reliability Organization under the Act.
