Case Study: Basin Electric Power Cooperative achieves automated, streamlined NERC compliance and improved visibility with AssurX

Simplifying NERC compliance through automation

Basin Electric Power Cooperative (BEPC) is a not‑for‑profit generation and transmission cooperative serving 140 member systems across nine states and three million customers, primarily in rural communities. Faced with roughly 60 NERC standards that translate into hundreds–to‑thousands of requirements and tasks, BEPC was struggling to manage tight timelines and compliance risk using spreadsheets and calendar reminders.

BEPC implemented AssurX’s Enterprise Energy Compliance System (ECOS)—starting with Document Management and Evidence Management and planning CAPA next—which provided a built‑in NERC repository, integrated document control, scheduled tasks and automated reminders. The solution delivered immediate visibility via dashboards, eliminated an estimated 25% of time previously spent tracking activities, strengthened internal controls, expanded across business units, and positioned BEPC for smoother audits and better reporting to leadership.
