Description:	This PRR would modify the ERCOT Protocols to allow for the use of an Emergency Interruptible Load Service (EILS) when an EECP is declared and all available Generation and Loads acting as Resources (LaaRs) have been deployed.
Reason:	This PRR provides ERCOT with a tool to reduce the likelihood of firm load shedding during an EECP event in a manner that is consistent with current market design and in a way that will minimize the costs to the market. This PRR is intended to be effective on an interim basis while long-term solutions (with potentially longer implementation time frames) are developed in the stakeholder process. This PRR could also serve as a more permanent backstop solution in case another emergency load PRR fails to attract subscribers.
