To endorse and forward the 4/21/11 PRS Report, Impact Analysis and Cost Benefit Analysis for NPRR338 to TAC and to recommend a priority of High and a rank of 21.
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) deducts the amount collected for the shortfall charges for Congestion Revenue Right (CRR) Owners from the amount received on all Real-Time Market (RTM) Invoices prior to prorating the payout to the RTM Invoice Recipients.
It also adds language to allow ERCOT to resettle the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) in the event that a DAM Settlement error, which does not otherwise meet the Protocol requirements for resettlement, will impact ERCOT’s ability to achieve revenue neutrality.
Reason:
The reasons for this revision are:
1) To facilitate revenue neutrality in the CRR Balancing Account closure process in the event of a short payment on the RTM Invoices. The amount collected from the RTM Invoices for the monthly refunds to the short-paid Day-Ahead CRR Owners should be deducted before calculating the pro-rated payout to the short-paid RTM Invoice Recipients. This is consistent with the treatment of those funds for RTM Invoice payout when there is not a short-pay.To facilitate ERCOT’s revenue neutrality by allowing ERCOT to perform a DAM Resettlement Statement to resolve a DAM Settlement error that impacts ERCOT’s ability to achieve revenue neutrality.
