Standards

One of the primary purposes of the RRC is to develop standards that apply to the entire Railbelt region. Members of the technical advisory council and additional subject matter experts use their knowledge of the unique challenges of the islanded Railbelt grid as well as stakeholder input to create specialized standards for the grid.
