Executive Summary In today’s Protocol Revision Subcommittee (PRS) meeting three protocol changes incited significant discussion and ERCOT proposed a new working group. Troy gave his usual update on project statuses, now with an implementation date of October 4th for FFR Advancement, which changes the ERCOT interface. Three NPRRs caused some stir; NPRR1112, which would eliminate…
Executive Summary Well, this was one of the more eventful PRS meetings I can remember. FFR advancement was indefinitely delayed (but very likely sometime next year), we got a tour of a website, some more information about securitization, the PUC’s requested voltage reduction NPRR was passed (not without a general sense that it wasn’t a…
Executive Summary Today’s WMS meeting was dominated by two big debates; what should Firm Fuel Supply Service (FFSS) look like (lots of open questions listed below), and how much NonSpin and ECRS should batteries be able to carry (ERCOT is standing firm on 4 hours for NonSpin, 2 hours for ECRS). Other than that there…
Executive Summary WMWG hit four main topics today; NPRR1084 (Require outage reports within a half hour if over 2%), NPRR1092 (Lower RUC Offer floor), Advanced Action Notices, and What To Do About CryptoCurrency Load? For NPRR1084, look for a market participant to write comments on a compromise solution soon. If you should want to be…
Executive Summary A long TAC that got very interesting at the end. There was a quick heads up on the upcoming cold weather event (ERCOT will most likely be okay, but will possibly procure more NonSpin and also requests that resources enter outages as soon as possible, particularly gas supply related outages and derates.) There…
Executive Summary As the board fleshes out with new members, the board meetings are going back to their normal (kind of boring, if you’ve been following the issues) selves. The new board members (Bill Flores, Zin Smati, Bob Flexon, and Jim Swainson) introduced themselves. Other than that, a lot of the meeting was ERCOT and…
Executive Summary The first real meeting of the new independent Board of Directors. At the beginning of each segment, the presenter did a good job of explaining what they are presenting in a tutorial manner. The ERCOT CEO started with a warning that Monday’s conditions could be tight. Chairman Lake, Commissioner McAdams and Commissioner Cobos…
Executive Summary The first independent board members of the post Uri era, Paul Foster and Carlos Aguilar, were announced last night and took their seats at this morning’s board meeting. The only thing of substance that they did was to approve amendments to ERCOTs bylaws to conform to Senate Bill 2. A more substantive board…
Executive Summary This was the first ERCOT Board meeting in the new ERCOT Austin offices, and while most of the meeting was the level of rubber stamping one has come to expect from an ERCOT board meeting, there were a couple of big surprises. First, (PUC) Chairman Lake told ERCOT to begin implementing NPRR1108(ERCOT to…
Executive Summary The new ERCOT Board of Directors met for the first meeting with the whole group. Most of the meeting was held in executive session, with only four topics discussed in the general (open to the public) session. Of the topics discussed in the general session, the most interesting one for stakeholders was corporate…
