Antitrust Admonition

ERCOT strictly prohibits market participants and their employees who are participating in ERCOT activities from using their participation in ERCOT activities as a forum for engaging in practices or communications that violate the antitrust laws. The ERCOT Board has approved guidelines for members of ERCOT Committees, subcommittees and working Groups to be reviewed and followed by each market participant attending ERCOT meetings.

Review June 20th 2006 meeting notes and action items to ensure the agenda is complete.

OGRRs: Posted for comments and TF review

181- Submission of Consistent Data for Planning and Operational Models: This OGRR adds language that will require that data on existing and future ERCOT System components and topology submitted to ERCOT by Transmission and/or Distribution Service Providers (TDSPs) for use in Planning and Operational Models is consistent. The transmission system could be at risk if planned or operated on inconsistent data. As consistent data tends to yield consistent results, it is good business practice to correlate existing ERCOT System components and topology within Planning and Operational models. (Posted for comment, 02/03/06, to date ERCOT, TXUED, and CenterPoint have commented.) Note: Scott Helyer and his special committee to review language and content and provide recommendation back to OGRTF.
