Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Nov 5, 2019
Sponsor: ERCOT
Urgent: No
Sections: 3.2.6.2.2, 3.14.1.1
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) makes two changes to the Report on the Capacity, Demand and Reserves in the ERCOT Region methodology. First, it clarifies that Forced Outages greater than 180 days, submitted through a Notification of Suspension of Operations (NSO), should be excluded from the Report on the Capacity, Demand and Reserves in the ERCOT Region capacity estimates for the expected duration of the Forced Outages. Currently, such NSO Outages are not addressed in the Report on the Capacity, Demand and Reserves in the ERCOT Region capacity estimation methodology. This NPRR also adds language in Section 3.14.1.1 to clarify that the NSO outage information may be published in the Report on the Capacity, Demand and Reserves in the ERCOT Region. Second, Planning Guide Revision Request (PGRR) 066, Interconnection Request Cancellation and Creation of Inactive Status, which was approved by the ERCOT Board in December 2018, creates a new “Inactive” status for Generation Interconnection and Change Request (GINR) projects. This NPRR addresses the resulting reporting gap by specifying how “Inactive” GINR projects, as well as “Cancelled” projects, are to be treated in the Report on the Capacity, Demand and Reserves in the ERCOT Region.
Reason: Market efficiencies or enhancements
