This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) proposes numerous minor changes to the Emergency Response Service (ERS). Those changes include:
• Changes to the Resource identification process that clarifies ERCOT’s role in identifying baselines available to each site for Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) to choose from.
• Change outdated ERS nomenclature (e.g, replace Contract Period with Standard Contract Term) where appropriate.
• Change deadline for QSEs to submit notice of ERS Load unavailability deadline from five Business Days to three calendar days.
• Change deadline for QSEs to revise planned maintenance or self-test schedules for ERS Generators from five Business Days to three calendar days.
• Change the testing exemption for an ERS Resource that successfully completes a test or meets its performance obligations during an ERS deployment event from 365 days to 330 days to provide ERCOT with flexibility to schedule and complete tests within a one year maximum time period.
• Specify metering options for sites with Distributed Renewable Generation (DRG).
• Other clarifying improvements.
