Background

Status:	Approved
Date Posted:	Nov 20, 2006
Sponsor:	PSEG Texgen I
Urgent:	Yes
Sections:	5.6.5, 5.6.6, 5.6.7.1, 5.6.8
Description:	This Protocol Revision Request will provide ERCOT with a tool that will enable incremental online capacity upon ERCOT issuing an Alert due to a capacity short supply situation. This Protocol change will also allow QSEs to represent their previously stranded capacity as available and capable of being loaded to their full real-time capability during an Alert due to a capacity short supply situation.
Reason:	Minimize the need and cost associated with the EILP, but still provide ERCOT with a tool to address system Alerts due to a capacity short supply situation.
