PUC Staff Comments to PRR Language

Yellow highlights areas or points whose outcomes are either not clear or not covered at all.  Green blocks represent “passing” scenarios Rose highlighted blocks represent “failing” scenarios.  Objective to determine how Yellow outcomes are stated/defined in the current language.  If you agree that some or all are not clear or not covered, then this is where we would like to see language added.  Also, it may improve the overall PRR if the paragraphs somewhat follow the categories similar to the chart. 

For example, create a “Portfolio Passes” heading with 2 outcomes (QSE passes, all LaaRs pass) itemized and set up a “Portfolio Fails” heading with 3 possible sub-headings (e.g. QSE at fault, LaaR at fault, Both QSE/LaaR at Fault) and the associated 2 outcomes itemized for each sub-heading.

Performance Protocol Revision to 6.10.12.5

6.10.12.5 ERCOT Actions for Non-ComplianceERCOT may revoke any or all Ancillary Service qualifications of any QSE providing an Ancillary Service (s) for continued failure to comply with required performance standards.

ERCOT may revoke the Ancillary Service qualification of any LaaR for failure to comply with the required performance standards. Specifically, if a LaaR that is providing RRS fails to respond with at least ninety-five-percent (95%) of its scheduled capacity within ten (10) minutes of an ERCOT Dispatch Instruction, that response shall be considered a failure. Two (2) LaaR performance failures within any rolling one (1) year period shall result in disqualification of that LaaR. After six (6) months of disqualification, the LaaR may reapply for qualification provided it submits a corrective action plan to ERCOT that identifies actions taken to correct performance deficiencies and the disqualified LaaR successfully passes a new actual deployment qualification test as specified in Section 6.10.2, General Capacity Testing Requirements.

Failure to deliver energy resulting from a valid Dispatch Instruction is cause for ERCOT, at ERCOT’s option, to withhold payment for any Ancillary Services purchased and not delivered.

TRE will make information relative to each QSE’s performance as well as ERCOT’s performance, available to Market Participants on a monthly basis, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3.1, Restrictions on Protected Information.
