This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) adds an annual requirement for any Resource Entity that owns or operates a thermal generating unit that is identified by ERCOT, through the use of a screening model, to be at risk of being retired or mothballed, and which has not yet already been listed in a Notice of Suspension of Operations form, to respond a request for information from ERCOT. As part of the annual requirement, the Resource Entity will receive a request for information from ERCOT of public or non-public retirement or mothball plans, as well as likelihood of retirement or mothballing if there are no such public or non-public plans. As specified in the NPRR, a Resource Entity will have 30 days to respond to the request for information, and all responses provided will be considered Protected Information under Section 1.3.1.1, Items Considered Protected Information.
