NOTICE DATE: October 6, 2020

NOTICE TYPE: W-A092220-02 Operations

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Downstream Production Change Submission Requirement Changes

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Transmission Service Providers (TSPs) and Resource Entities responsible in submitting changes to the Network Operations Model

DAYS AFFECTED: November 1, 2020

LONG DESCRIPTION: Starting on November 1, 2020, ERCOT will require TSPs and Resource Entities submitting a Downstream Production Change (DPC) to the Network Operations Model to include in their submission a completed DPC Request form. The intent of this form is to capture the reason as to why the data in the DPC is being requested to be implemented in ERCOT’s systems without going through the usual process for other model changes. The DPC process allows ERCOT to make certain changes in the model currently being used in Production without loading a new model.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The DPC is limited to the data types included in Section 3 of the Network Operations Modeling Expectations for TSPs, REs and QSEs Version 7.8. The DPC Request forms are available on ERCOT.com under the Production Load Schedule.

CONTACT: If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via email at ClientServices@ercot.com.
