Background

Status:	Approved
Date Posted:	Apr 10, 2008
Sponsor:	ERCOT Staff
Urgent:	No
Sections:	Section 2.1, Definitions
Description:	This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) clarifies the definition for Resource Node and specifies the different Resource Node types that meet the Nodal Protocol requirements.
Reason:	The current definition of Resource Node limits the capabilities of the intended Nodal Market and is inconsistently used within the Protocols based on explicit and implicit requirements. There is a need for more Resource Node types to fully capture the intent of the Protocols.
