Who is responsible for implementing the System Restoration Plan after a disturbance in the BES?

The Transmission Operator is responsible for implementing the System Restoration Plan after a disturbance in the Bulk Electric System (BES). When a disturbance occurs, the Transmission Operator plays a crucial role in restoring the system to normal operating conditions. They coordinate the activities required to bring the system back online, including re-establishing system conditions, managing the flow of electricity, and ensuring that all operational protocols are followed during the restoration process.

This responsibility involves working closely with other entities, such as Balancing Authorities, Reliability Coordinators, and Generator Operators, to ensure a coordinated effort in the system's recovery. However, the Transmission Operator is specifically tasked with the practical implementation of the restoration actions outlined in the System Restoration Plan, ensuring that the necessary steps are effectively executed to restore service safely and efficiently.
