Electric Disturbance Events (OE-417)
The Electric Emergency Incident and Disturbance Report provides information on electric emergency incidents and disturbances. The Department of Energy uses the information to fulfill its overall national security and other energy emergency management responsibilities, as well as for analytical purposes.
Electric utilities that operate a control area or reliability authorities, as well as other electric utilities, should file Form OE-417 when appropriate. Local utilities in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Trust Territories also should file the form.
Note: This report is sponsored by the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE). The OE-417 form was approved to supersede the EIA-417 that expired on December 5, 2008.
