The Nodal Protocols currently enable a Wind-powered Generation Resource (WGR) and the Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) representing that WGR to receive ERCOT’s Short-Term Wind Power Forecast (STWPF) for that WGR via the Messaging System and the Market Information System (MIS) Certified Area. This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) would require ERCOT to provide the WGR forecast to any QSE contractually affiliated with that WGR.
Reason:
By receiving the WGR forecast directly from ERCOT, a QSE that purchases power from a WGR will be able to process the data in a timelier manner.
