| Description: | This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) incorporates the new Generation Firming Program requirements, as required by Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) § 39.1592 and the Public Utility Commission of Texas’ (PUCT) rule adopted in 16 Texas Administrative Code § 25.65. The obligation to participate in the Generation Firming Program applies to all Generation Resources with an original Standard Generation Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) executed on or after January 1, 2027, beginning one year after the Generation Resource’s Resource Commissioning Date. Such Generation Resources are required to operate, or be available to operate, at or above the Generation Resource’s Seasonal Average Generation Capability during the Low Operation Reserve Hours in each Firming Season. Generation Resources can satisfy this obligation either through their own performance or via a Firming Transfer with another eligible Resource. This NPRR provides details on the administration of the Generation Firming Program, including definitions, timing requirements, processes for submitting Firming Transfers to ERCOT, specific calculations for measuring performance and applying exemptions, and associated market-facing reporting. |
