Governance/Regulatory Structure

The range of Entities involved in the governance and regulation of an end-to-end Power System and its related markets, as set out in the legal arrangements of a specific jurisdiction. In Power Systems Architecture, this structure focuses on the mapping of various governance and regulatory relationships, with an emphasis on which Entity regulates which types of organisations as represented in the Industry/Market Structure.  These may include:

  1. Federal governments and agencies;
  2. Federal regulatory bodies;
  3. State governments and agencies;
  4. State regulatory bodies; and,
  5. Trans-national bodies.

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.
