This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) clarifies that the procedures describing the forecasting process that ERCOT must publish on the Market Information System (MIS) Public Area pursuant to Section 3.2.1 relate specifically to ERCOT's Intermittent Renewable Resource (IRR) forecasting process.
Reason:
The requirement for ERCOT to publish procedures describing the forecasting process was added to Section 3.2.1 by NPRR230, Resolution of Alignment Items A40, A108, A127 and A138 and Clarification/Updates to Load and Demand Forecast, Statement of Opportunities, and Long Term Wind Power Forecast. While the intent of this requirement was for ERCOT to publish its wind or IRR forecasting procedures, paragraph (5) of Section 3.2.1 does not specify that the requirement is specific to wind or IRR forecasting. This NPRR removes any ambiguity regarding the forecasting process posting requirement.
