Loading data…
Which standards and requirements draw the most enforcement, and whether that is rising. One row per standard version and requirement, grouped under its family. Counts are findings: one per requirement cited in a notice of penalty, a Find, Fix, Track or a compliance exception, whether fined or not. Dollars are whole enforcement actions (a settlement or a notice of penalty), never split into a per-requirement fine. No registered entity is named on this page.
What these numbers are, and what is missing
- One action, one amount. A settlement often covers several findings, sometimes across standards. Its amount is never divided between them, so a row shows a range: the low end counts only actions about that row alone, the high end every action that cites it. A shared settlement sits in the high end of each row it cites, so the column is never totalled.
- Per year stacks findings by outcome, scaled to the row's own busiest year; the current year is partial and drawn faint. CIP filings after 2020-10 are non-public (CEII): the grey band.
- Full notices of penalty are PDFs. Their amount is read where the letter states it; otherwise the finding shows as Amount not read, never as $0.
- Compliance exceptions and FFTs carry no penalty and are in this data from 2020-10 only (NERC's consolidated non-CIP files).
- 2019 to 2020-09 spreadsheet notices were filed as PDF tables and are not parsed.
- Each finding links to its public FERC filing, which names the entity. This page itself names, lists and ranks none.
About this data
Penalty records do not list the entity's function, so this page has no Function filter; the Applies to column shows the requirement's functions.
