Urgent: | Yes |
Sections: | 2.1, 9.7.1 |
Description: | Revise the ERCOT System administration fees to include the FERC-mandated fee for the ERCOT Region™s share of the new Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) and the new Texas Regional Entity (TRE) for the ERCOT Region. The ERO/TRE fee will be $0.0169 per MWh. FERC approved a ERO/TRE budget for the ERCOT Region which results in a fee of $0.021 per MWh; however, a portion ($900, 000) of the ERO/TRE fee will be collected via the PUCT-approved ERCOT System administration fee of $0.4171 per MWh. |
Reason: | To provide for collection of the mandated fees required by the Electricity Modernization Act of 2005 (of the Energy Policy Act of 2005) as implemented by the FERC and NERC, the ERO. This proposed PRR is intended as an interim measure for collecting the ERO/TRE fee starting in 2007, until it can be implemented as a separate charge. NERC requires that Load in the various regions not be double-counted in fee assessment; therefore, Load Serving Entities should only be assessed fees for Load consumed within the region. Because ERCOT™s current System administration fees include DC Tie exports, ERCOT will require a project to automate a Load-based fee which excludes DC Tie exports from fee assessment. In the interim, ERCOT has provided an option in the PRR to dispute assessments of the ERO/TRE fees to DC Tie exports and request reimbursement. |
