Summary
LCRA Transmission Services Corporation told its board Feb. 18 that its 2025 NERC audit closed with no findings, recommendations or areas of concern; staff credited a culture of compliance and a new Archer compliance tool for the result.
LCRA Transmission Services Corporation officials told the board Feb. 18 that the company’s 2025 audit by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and Texas Reliability Entity concluded with no recommendations, areas of concern or findings.
Chief Operating Officer Chris Kellner said the audit, conducted on a three‑year cycle by Texas RE, evaluated the company’s compliance with NERC reliability and critical infrastructure protection standards. “The 2025 audit of LCRA TSC resulted in no recommendations, areas of concern, or findings for the prior 3 years,” Kellner said, and he credited sustained cross‑department collaboration and a governance, risk and compliance tool called Archer for supporting the result.
Kellner described evidence provided to auditors including internal controls, process documentation, interviews with subject matter experts and tours of operations centers. He said the staff maintained and assessed controls continually rather than treating compliance as a once‑every‑three‑years exercise. “We live it day in and day out,” Kellner said.
Board members offered brief thanks to staff and moved on to the next agenda items. The board did not take any formal action tied to the audit report during the meeting.
