| NOGRR156 | Alignment with NPRR762, Removal of Language Related to Responsive Reserve Provided by DC Ties | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) removes references to the provision of Responsive Reserve (RRS) across the Direct Current Ties (DC Ties). These references have existed in the Operating Guides since at least 1997, and similar language existed in the earliest versions of the Zonal Protocols. However, to date, there are no ERCOT systems or procedures in place to award Ancillary Services to the DC Ties, and no project to add this functionality has ever been proposed. Without any funding for the necessary system changes, ERCOT has no mechanism for allowing the provision of RRS over the DC Ties. | 03/18/2016 | ERCOT | No | 2.3.1.2 | Approved |

| NOGRR256 | Related to NPRR1191, Registration, Interconnection, and Operation of Customers with Large Loads; Information Required of Customers with Loads 25 MW or Greater | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) establishes voltage ride-through requirements for Large Loads and Load-shedding processes for Large Loads that are registered as Registered Curtailable Loads. | 08/01/2023 | ERCOT | No | 2.11 (new), 4.5.3.1, 4.5.3.4 (new), and 4.5.3.4 | Pending | |
| NOGRR257 | Removal of Redundant ERS Reporting Requirement | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) resolves a conflict in Emergency Response Service (ERS) event reporting timelines between the Operating Guide and Protocols by striking the 90-day event reporting requirement in the Operating Guide. | 08/21/2023 | ERCOT | No | 9.1.2 | Approved | |
| NOGRR258 | Related to NPRR1198, Congestion Mitigation Using Topology Reconfigurations | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) proposes changes to align the Nodal Operation Guides with NPRR1198 that adds language to allow the use of Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) and Extended Action Plans (EAPs) to facilitate the market use of the ERCOT Transmission Grid. NOGRR258 also adds guardrails to ensure that topology reconfiguration requests meet basic reliability and economic criteria, and defines the process for submission, review, and approval of EAPs. This NOGRR and NPRR1198 leverage ERCOT’s existing Constraint Management Plan (CMP) process to quickly mitigate critical transmission congestion impacts by establishing a scalable process for topology reconfiguration requests that is transparent, predictable, equitable, workable, reliable, and compatible with existing planning processes. ERCOT already leverages topology optimization in the CMP processes. Since NPRR529, Congestion Management Plan was introduced in 2013 with the limitations that NPRR1198 proposes to revise, the power industry has evolved and there have been technological improvements that make transmission topology reconfigurations a powerful option to mitigate congestion beyond just use cases for which there is no feasible Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) solution. | 08/31/2023 | EDF Renewables, Inc. | No | 11.1, 11.4, 11.4.1, 11.6, 11.8 (new), and 11.8.1 (new) | Pending | |
| NOGRR259 | Alignment Changes for November 3, 2023 Nodal Operating Guide – NPRR1176 | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) aligns Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) language in Section 4.5.3.3 with Protocol Section 6.5.9.4.2, EEA Levels. On August 31, 2023, the ERCOT Board recommended approval of NPRR1176, which modifies language in Protocol Section 6.5.9.4.2. Paragraph (6) of Section 1.3.1, Introduction, provides that ERCOT may make changes to the Nodal Operating Guide to maintain duplicate language between the Protocols and Nodal Operating Guide, and requires that Section 4.5.3.3 be modified only by an Alignment NOGRR. | 09/26/2023 | ERCOT | No | 4.5.3.3 | Approved |

| NOGRR260 | Administrative Change for Nodal Operating Guide – Remove Obsolete Reference from List of Appealable TAC Actions | This Administrative Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) removes an obsolete reference to TAC approval from the list of appealable TAC actions, as TAC no longer has final approval of guide Revision Requests, further aligning the Nodal Operations Guide revision process with that described in Protocol Section 21.4.12.2, Appeal of Technical Advisory Committee Action. Administrative changes to the Nodal Operating Guide to maintain consistency with Protocol Section 21, Revision Request Process, are allowed under paragraph (5) of Section 1.3.1, Introduction. | 10/12/2023 | ERCOT | No | 1.3.3.12 | Approved |
