Issue
The client is a renewable generation developer, owner, and operator whose rapid growth created a multi-threaded compliance landscape.
After the 2021 winter storm and related regulatory inquiries, the client needed its compliance practices reviewed:
- Three distinct business lines each had their own compliance reporting practices.
- The client needed gaps in Federal, NERC, and ISO reporting identified.
- Rapid growth had outpaced a coherent compliance structure.
Solution
MidDel ran a Regulatory Compliance Capability and Risk Assessment across three business lines:
- Focused on Federal, NERC, and ISO reporting requirements and the People, Process, and Systems behind them.
- Reviewed all compliance procedures, documented processes, and interviewed the user community.
- Recommended formalized information dissemination, system consolidation, and a single volumetric data source.
Result
All required reporting was being filed - but effectiveness depended on key individuals rather than a structured, automated framework, leaving the fast-growing business exposed to attrition.
Key Takeaways
- Key-person dependence is the hidden compliance exposure. The review found all required reporting was being filed, yet its effectiveness rested on specific individuals rather than a structured, automated framework - leaving a fast-growing renewables business acutely vulnerable to attrition.
- Formalizing how compliance rules are disseminated, consolidating systems, and building a single volumetric data source is what converts individual heroics into durable, auditable process - transferable to any fast-growing operator under NERC and ISO obligations.
