NERC GADS in 2026 for Co-Ops
Your co-op is already collecting the data needed for GADS reporting. The problem is pulling it together accurately, classifying events correctly, and getting submissions out on time without creating more manual work for operations, compliance, and plant teams.
This session will show how co-ops can take a more practical and repeatable approach to NERC GADS reporting in 2026.
Join NERC and Integ for a live discussion on what co-ops should be paying attention to, where reporting processes often break down, and how teams can improve reporting accuracy, consistency, and internal coordination without adding more burden to already stretched staff.
You’ll get insights on how co-ops can strengthen GADS reporting workflows, including how to:
improve the accuracy of outage and performance data before submission
reduce manual effort tied to collecting, validating, and organizing reporting inputs
avoid common classification and reporting issues that lead to rework
build a more repeatable workflow across compliance, operations, and plant teams
prepare for 2026 reporting requirements with better internal visibility and process discipline
reduce delays caused by disconnected systems and handoffs
create a stronger foundation for timely and consistent GADS reporting
align operations, compliance, and reporting teams around a cleaner process
… and much more
Who Should Attend
Whether you’re responsible for compliance, plant reporting, outage data, generation performance, or operational oversight, this session will help you understand what co-ops should be doing now to improve GADS reporting in 2026.
This session is especially relevant for:
NERC compliance managers and specialists
GADS coordinators and reporting leads
plant managers and generation managers
operations managers
