EverLine Powers Into Electric Transmission with NERC TOP Certification, Expanding the Nation’s Most Advanced Remote and Security Operations Platform

HOUSTON, TX [October 17, 2025] — EverLine, a national leader in remote operations, cybersecurity, and compliance for critical and energy infrastructure, announced today that it has achieved certification as a NERC Transmission Operator (TOP). The milestone marks EverLine’s continued expansion into the electric transmission market and strengthens its position as one of the few independent operators serving the U.S. power grid.

The NERC TOP certification validates that EverLine has demonstrated that its systems, personnel, and CIP high-impact compliance adhere to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards for operating transmission assets. It also authorizes EverLine to carry out essential real-time tasks, such as continuous monitoring, operational planning, and emergency response, within SERC’s regional jurisdiction. By expanding its 24/7 Remote Operations Control Center (ROCC), Network Operations Center (NOC), and Security Operations Center (SOC), EverLine now offers electric transmission owners and operators a unified, secure, and compliant platform serving power, pipeline, and renewable assets.

“As the nation races to expand transmission capacity to meet surging demand, the bottleneck isn’t technology, it’s the lack of qualified, independent operating partners,” said Brandon Ware, EverLine’s Vice President of Power O&M Services. “Few organizations are equipped to provide true best in class compliance out of the gate. With this certification, EverLine delivers immediate readiness, eliminating long registration delays and giving developers a partner who can operate with full NERC authority from day one.”

The certification process requires rigorous documentation, readiness evaluations, and validation by the regional authority to verify operational control capabilities, trained staff, and secure data systems. This certification places EverLine under the same strict regulatory requirements that govern the nation’s electric grid operators, including adherence to standards such as TOP-001 (Transmission Operations) and TOP-003 (Operational Data Exchange). Each standard involves significant financial and operational risks, with potential penalties exceeding $1.5 million daily per violation for noncompliance.

EverLine’s expansion in electric transmission services allows the company to address a growing market gap. Developers and grid owners are bringing new assets online faster than the industry can staff compliant operations centers. By combining a NERC-registered control environment with advanced cybersecurity, real-time situational awareness, and audit-ready evidence management, EverLine helps clients reduce time-to-market, capital costs, and ongoing O&M expenses, while also lowering their overall risk profile.

Continued Ware, “Power infrastructure owners and developers face nearly 100 NERC standards to comply with, and penalties exceeding $1.5M per instance per day for non-compliance. We’re here to help mitigate that. This certification is just the first of several in our plans to add more choice and capacity to this market, and we aim to be the leading operating partner in this space.”

The NERC TOP certification highlights EverLine’s dedication to operational excellence and its broader goal to modernize the management, monitoring, and protection of critical infrastructure across North America.
