A Highly Reliable Regional Bulk Power System

At MRO, our values are embodied in our WHY–our vision, mission and core principles–those things that motivate us to become experts in our field and provide exemplary service and value to a variety of stakeholders that use, own, operate, or regulate the North American power grid.

Welcome to Midwest Reliability Organization

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).

MRO is Committed to Promoting 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.
