Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Jun 13, 2012
Sponsor: ERCOT
Urgent: Yes
Sections: 3.19, 4.4.11, 4.4.11.1, 4.4.11.2 (delete)
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) removes the specifics for determining the SWCAP and operating the scarcity pricing mechanism language from the Protocols. The SWCAP and scarcity pricing mechanism language will be incorporated into the proposed Other Binding Document (OBD), System-Wide Offer Cap and Scarcity Pricing Mechanism Methodology.
Reason: Removing the specifics from the Protocols and inserting into an OBD helps to avoid potential conflicts between the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) rules and the Protocols, eliminating the need to file an NPRR each time the PUCT rule changes.
