If a Resource Entity does not provide an attestation for a Load Resource by the December 30, 2021, deadline, the Load Resource may be prohibited from submitting offers to provide Ancillary Services.

The attestation form should be submitted as a pdf via email to LRAttestation@ercot.com with the subject line “Critical Load Attestation.” The required Load Resource Critical Load Attestation form can be found on the ERCOT Load Resource webpage under Key Documents.
