Why doesn’t the Functional Model mention the Regional Entities?

Because the Regional Entities are organizations, not functions. The Regional Entities may perform some of the functions defined in the Model. For instance, some Regional Entities perform the Reliability Operations function (Reliability Coordinator), some the Planning Reliability functions (Planning Coordinator), and all perform the Compliance Enforcement (Compliance Enforcement Authority) function. Does the Planning Coordinator consider the Regional Council’s planning standards when assessing the “plan?” The Planning Coordinator assesses plans against NERC Reliability Standards. The Planning Coordinator may also assess plans against other industry reliability standards; however, NERC compliance will be based on NERC Reliability Standards.
