The NERC Standard Internal Compliance Programs (NSICP) that live where they matter most—inside your plant’s operations, maintenance processes, and prudent O&M practices.

Most organizations build a stand-alone NSICP and stop there. The plants that achieve true reliability, higher efficiency, and long-term cost savings go further. They integrate their NSICP directly into day-to-day operations.

AES partners with power-generation organizations that need their NERC program to be both audit-ready and operationally useful, including:

• Generator Owners and Generator Operators
• IPPs, utilities, and merchant plants
• Combined-cycle, simple-cycle, and cogeneration facilities
• Owners, Plant Managers, operations leaders, and compliance teams
• Facilities navigating NERC O&P and CIP standards

If your team is pulled between keeping the plant running and keeping up with NERC, we’re built for you.

We design and implement your NSICP that are:

• Integrated into O&M
  Built around your existing operations, maintenance processes, and prudent O&M practices—not bolted on as extra paperwork.
• Focused on Reliability & Efficiency
  Compliance is treated as a tool to enhance facility reliability, availability, and long-term performance, not just a checkbox exercise.
• Practically Manageable
  Structured to free engineers, operators, and managers from constant NERC admin so they can focus on running the plant.
• Audit-Ready and Defensible
  Documentation, evidence, and procedures aligned with NERC expectations, so you’re prepared before the audit notice arrives.
• Sustainable and Adaptable
  A clear roadmap for continual improvement, adjustments to standard changes, and long-term maintainability.

Effective compliance is not just documentation—it’s a living system that supports your people and aligns with your plant’s daily reality.

We bring a rare blend of:

• Deep operations and maintenance expertise
• Extensive start-up and commissioning experience
• Solid engineering background
• Proven NERC O&P and CIP compliance proficiency
• Senior-level understanding of how plants actually run

Collaboration Across Your Organization. We work side-by-side with your:

• Management and leadership team
• Engineering and project staff
• O&M and control room personnel
• Compliance, safety, and reliability teams

A program that your operators respect, your engineers trust, your management understands—and that your auditors can clearly follow.

Why an Integrated NSICP Matters. A well-designed NSICP should:

• Promote a culture of compliance across the entire organization
• Be vigorous, adaptable, and aligned with real-world operations
• Enhance the overall reliability of your facility
• Integrate NERC Standards seamlessly into existing O&M workflows
• Provide a clear roadmap for sustainable maintenance and continual improvement
• And ultimately—save you money through fewer surprises, fewer violations, and more predictable performance

With AES, your NSICP becomes more than a requirement— it becomes a strategic asset for reliability, performance, and your bottom line.
