Prevention of power failuresߞThe FPC report of 1967

Twenty months after the Northeast blackout of November 9-10, 1965, the Federal Power Commission issued its three-volume report calling for the co-ordinated planning and operation of bulk power supply facilities to ensure maximum possible reliability and the prevention of future cascading tripouts and regional power failures. These and related guidelines are contained in 34 recommendations. As would be expected, the power industry, after evaluating this comprehensive report, may have some disparate reactions. A small sampling of these reactions by three investor-owned utilitiesߞand a federal systemߞis herein presented.
