The Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) is one of 8 Regional Entities delegated authority to insure reliability by North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) in North American and was formed on September 16, 1996. The area served by FRCC was previously served by SERC Reliability Corporation (SERC). NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965. FRCC's offices are located in Tampa, Florida.
The FRCC region lies within the Eastern Interconnection and serves almost all of Florida, with the exception of a portion of the Florida Panhandle below Alabama. This FRCC footprint is electrically unique in that it is tied to the interconnection on only one side. FRCC members include investor-owned utilities, cooperative utilities, municipal utilities, one federal power agency, power marketers and independent power producers.
