This NPRR incorporates relevant language from PRR698, Remove Default QSE Provisions, which was approved by the ERCOT Board of Directors on 12/12/06. This NPRR revises provisions for the Emergency and Virtual Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) to allow them to provide for Resource Entities and Load Serving Entities (LSEs) in the event that their QSEs are suspended. This NPRR also removes the Default QSE concept, including all references to a Default QSE.
Reason:
To incorporate into the Nodal Protocols provisions approved by the Board for the zonal market and determined by the ERCOT stakeholders to be relevant to the nodal market. This PRR will also avoid the cost of contracting with a Default QSE.
