Continued Reporting and Retention Rules
Entities registered in TRE (BA, GO, GOP) must keep following and reporting the same data: identify and post Frequency Measurable Events (FME), calculate and report Primary Frequency Response (PFR) performance for each generating unit, and retain records (monthly PFR reports, lists of FMEs, annual interconnection calculations, and related data) since the last compliance audit. Compliance audits are generally about three years apart.
