Recommend revision to Continuous Service Agreement (CSA) process surrounding Solution to Stacking REP Rules 5 and 6.
Next Step:
TX SET attendees reviewed the scenarios and possible solutions. An alternative would be to allow the MVO to CSA to process as it is today; then have ERCOT re-evaluate if the CSA CR has changed or been removed. If this is the case, ERCOT would cancel the first MVO to CSA and resend the new one or the original straight MVO. Also it was suggested to add an effective date to the 814_18 to specify when the CSA agreement begins.

Description:
CSA CRs who have deleted CSA relationships are receiving unauthorized CSA enrollments. Customer contracts with CSA CRs are not being honored because of REP rules 5 and 6:
Reason:
REP Operating Rule 5: Establish Continuous Service Agreement After Move Out Results in De-energized Premise
• If a REP submits an 814_18, Establish/Delete CSA Request, with the addition indicator on an ESI ID where a move out has been submitted but is not complete, the move out will complete as if the establish Continuous Service Agreement (CSA) was not in effect and the Premise will be De-energized if there was no prior CSA relationship. If there was a prior CSA relationship, the prior CSA REP will be the REP of record after the move out.
REP Operating Rule 6: Establish Continuous Service Agreement After Move Out Results in De-energized Premise
• If a REP submits an 814_18, Establish/Delete CSA Request, with the delete indicator on an ESI ID where a move out has been submitted, but is not complete, the move out will complete as if the establish CSA was still in effect and the CSA REP will be the REP of record after the move out.
