Midwest Reliability Organization (or MRO) is dedicated to its vision of a highly reliable and secure North American bulk power system. Our mission is to identify, prioritize and assure effective and efficient mitigation of risks to the reliability and security of the North American bulk power system by promoting Highly Effective Reliability Organizations® (HEROs).
We use the theory and principles of high reliability organizations (HROs) as a framework for ensuring reliable operations. HRO’s are organizations that have succeeded in avoiding catastrophes in environments where accidents can be expected due to complexity, interdependence, and risk. Over time, HRO theory has evolved and provides guidance for modern safety program design and is foundational to many industries seeking high reliability in critical functions. MRO has translated this theory for application to reliable operations of the bulk power system because high standards of operational excellence support our vision and mission.
The MRO Security Advisory Council Threat Forum Q1 2023 meeting will be held via Webex on February 15, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Central.
