This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) removes language regarding the Unfunded Project List to bring the Protocols in line with the current planning and budgeting process for the ERCOT project portfolio. To facilitate budget and resource forecasting beyond the current year, ERCOT recently created a multiple year project view in the Project Priority List (PPL). Since a project now has a target year for funding within the multi-year PPL, there is no longer a need for an Unfunded Project List review concept as future year projects are regularly considered as new projects are prioritized within the multi-year PPL.
Reason:
To align the Protocols with current planning and budgeting process which facilitates better project management and budget forecasting.
