This Retail Market Guide Revision Request (RMGRR) aligns the Retail Market Guide with Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 454, Removal of Unfunded Project List Language, approved by the ERCOT Board on 7/17/12, which removed language regarding the Unfunded Project List.
This RMGRR also aligns the Retail Market Guide with the Protocols by requiring ERCOT’s opinion in the TAC Report for any RMGRR requiring an ERCOT project for implementation; and includes administrative alignment changes. In addition, this RMGRR modifies the scope of the Administrative RMGRR definition to include revisions for the purpose of maintaining consistency between Section 3, Retail Market Guide Revision Process, and Protocol Section 21, Revision Request Process.
Reason:
Alignment with the Protocols by removing language regarding the Unfunded Project List and including ERCOT’s opinion in TAC Reports. In addition, allowing RMGRRs that are for the purpose of alignment with Protocol Section 21 to proceed as Administrative RMGRRs significantly decreases the amount of work and meeting time that must be devoted to these routine RMGRRs.
