Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Feb 1, 2011
Sponsor: Luminant Energy Company LLC
Urgent: No
Sections: 2.1, 3.14.3, 4.3, 22, Attachment D, Attachment F,
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) replaces the term "Resource Plan" with the term "Current Operating Plan" or "Availability Plan" in those instances where the change in terminology was not previously made. This NPRR also proposes adding a Black Start capable status indicator to the Availability Plan to allow ERCOT to settle payment for Black Start units programmatically; and allows Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) with Black Start units to provide all of the Black Start availability through the Availability Plan.
Reason: The term "Resource Plan" was proper for use in the zonal Protocols; however, that term is no longer appropriate for use in the Nodal Protocols. It has been replaced by the term "Current Operating Plan". This NPRR also improves the Black Start availability reporting process.
