Description:
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) proposes a unique status for Revision Requests to designate ERCOT Board priority action items -- Board Priority Revision Request. A Board Priority Revision Request would be the result of a vote from the ERCOT Board to direct ERCOT staff to develop a Revision Request that would address a specific issue raised at the ERCOT Board, to officially designate that NPRR as a Board Priority NPRR that will be processed similar to an NPRR with Urgent status, and to request that a resolution of the issue be worked through the Market Participant process by a specific time.
This NPRR also requires ERCOT’s opinion on a Revision Request in the TAC recommendation to the ERCOT Board.
Reason:
This NPRR is a result of the TAC Annual Structural and Procedural Review. TAC endorsed these concepts as a procedural improvements to the current stakeholder process and requested that ERCOT staff develop an NPRR to codify treatment of ERCOT Board Priority action items in the Protocols and include ERCOT’s opinion in TAC Reports.
