Description:
This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) synchronizes the Nodal Operating Guides with Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 356, EEA Changes Related to Dispatch Instructions and BLTs, which was approved by the ERCOT Board on August 16, 2011; and which changes the need to issue Dispatch Instructions to suspend any ongoing ERCOT-required generating unit or Resource performance testing and moves the requirement to inquire about the availability of Block Load Transfers (BLTs) from Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) Level 2A to EEA Level 2B.
Reason:
The changes to the EEA process will allow ERCOT to be more efficient in making Hotline calls to Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs).
