Most of the time all the details of the meter information is forthcoming later when the field crew turns in their paperwork with all the meter attributes for posting into the TDSP’s internal system.
This issue in some cases is delaying the updating of load profile information into ERCOT’s system because Meter Multiplier and Meter Type is required for Load Profile NM101 =MQ has not been updated; however service has been energized to premise. This results in issues because of Annual Validation may be delayed or prevented on the ESI IDs that are still being held by the TDSP
