Welcome to TANC

The Mission of TANC is to assist its publicly owned utility Members in providing cost-effective energy supplies to their customers, through long term ownership of essential high-voltage transmission lines within California and the western United States.

As a registered Transmission Owner, Transmission Planner and Transmission Service Provider, TANC is obligated to comply with certain Mandatory Electric Reliability Standards that have been approved by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to promote reliable operation of the bulk electric system.  Within the western United States, implementation of the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program related to these Mandatory Electric Reliability Standards is being carried out by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), which has the responsibility for registering and monitoring the performance of all users, owners and operators of the bulk power system.  TANC has implemented a comprehensive, internal Compliance Program through which TANC manages organizational performance relative to each applicable Mandatory Electric Reliability Standard. TANC's Compliance Program utilizes industry experts to regularly monitor organizational performance and compile pertinent documentation as compliance evidence.  For more information regarding Mandatory Electric Reliability Standards and WECC's Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program, click here.

As a California Joint Powers Agency created pursuant to California Government Code, the agency conducts all business consistent with requirements of California's Fair Political Practices Commission as well as other applicable statutes and regulations.  All TANC meetings are noticed and administered consistent with the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which governs meetings of local legislative bodies.
