This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) proposes modifications to address certain undesirable outcomes that follow from assigning one or more Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) a negative Load or negative Load Ratio Share (LRS). These undesirable outcomes include: Assigning a QSE a negative Ancillary Service Obligation; Paying, rather than charging, a QSE for Emergency Response Service (ERS); Paying, rather than charging, a QSE for the System Administration fee; and Paying, rather than charging, a QSE in the event of a default uplift.
Reason:
Addresses current operational issues; market efficiencies or enhancements.
