NOTICE DATE: October 15, 2026
NOTICE TYPE: M-A082626-02 Operations
SHORT DESCRIPTION: DPC Dashboard: Temporary DPCs to be submitted exclusively through DPC Submission forms beginning October 21, 2026.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Transmission Operators
DAYS AFFECTED: October 21, 2026 - Ongoing
LONG DESCRIPTION: As previously communicated (M-A082626-01), ERCOT introduced a new Downstream Production Change (DPC) Dashboard, a web-based interface that allows Transmission Operators (TOs) to submit Temporary DPC requests and monitor submission status. Beginning September 2, 2026, TOs were requested to submit Temporary DPCs in both NMMS MAGE and the new DPC Dashboard as part of a parallel submission period.
That parallel submission period will close on October 20, 2026. Beginning October 21, 2026, Temporary DPCs must be submitted only through the DPC Submission forms available on the DPC Dashboard. NMMS MAGE will no longer be used for Temporary DPC submissions from this date forward.
Permanent DPCs are not affected by this change and will continue to be submitted through NMMS MAGE exclusively.
TOs who have not already done so, are requested to work with their User Security Administrator (USA) to request a digital certificate with one of the following DPC Dashboard roles, available on MPIM:
- DPC_M_OPERATOR - Full access to submit, modify, withdraw, and monitor DPCs
- DPC_M_VIEW - Allows only Read-Only privileges to DPC Dashboard for monitoring DPCs
An updated DPC Dashboard Transmission Operator User Guide Version 3.0 is available to assist TOs in navigating the submission form and DPC Dashboard, including step-by-step instructions, field-level descriptions, validation rules, and a pre-submission checklist.
TOs should direct any feedback on UI issues, workflow questions, or discrepancies identified during or after the transition to ERCOTDPCSupport@ercot.com.
