Sections: 1.3.1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1.1, 3.1.4.3, 3.9, 3.14.5 (new), 4.3, 6.6.13 (new), 6.6.13.1 (new), 6.6.13.2 (new), 6.6.13.3 (new), 8.1.1.2.1.7 (new), 9.5.3, 9.14.7, 25.5.1, 25.5.2, and 25.5.5
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) creates a new reliability service, Firm Fuel Supply Service (FFSS). This new reliability service is developed consistent with directives from the Legislature (provided in Section 18 of Senate Bill 3, 87(R) that are now found in PURA 39.159(c)(2), requiring ancillary or reliability services to address reliability during extreme cold weather conditions) and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) (see e.g. PUC Project No. 52373, Approval of Blueprint for Wholesale Electric Market Design and Directives to ERCOT, ordering ERCOT to develop a firm-fuel product that provides additional grid reliability and resiliency during extreme cold weather and compensates generation resources that meet a higher resiliency standard). By necessity this NPRR focuses on components that require accommodation in the Settlement and Billing system, since those components require the longest lead time to design. Additional requirements will be reflected in the request for proposal (RFP) that will be forthcoming.
Reason: Meets Strategic goals / Market efficiencies or enhancements
