The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct ’05) has changed the landscape of regulatory compliance, expanding FERC's enforcement purview over traditional NERC reliability activities and providing an extended review of market behavior. Along with this expanded authority, EPAct ’05 also provided FERC with the authority to impose significant penalties for non-compliance.  
 
Organizations have been left in the wake of this legislation trying to understand new compliance requirements and realizing the development of a robust compliance program is only the beginning. The Structure Group's comprehensive compliance expertise can provide the keys to mitigating FERC and NERC compliance risk through assessments of functional and operational compliance. Our experience in helping clients successfully manage their compliance needs has provided a deep understanding of the impacts that regulatory compliance requirements have on business processes and technology.
