WebEx OnlyIDR Required Workshop IV WebEx was held on Tuesday 02/24/15 :
42 MPs
were in attendance included CRs, TDSPs and ERCOT’s Staff members
Workshop IV discussed:TDSPs’ feedback concerning how threshold changes may impact TDSP’s current and future 4CP application, billing systems and/or rate structure IF IDR Threshold is raised.Overall the TDSPs were supportive of increasing the threshold to either 1MW or could go as high as 1.5MW, however, either threshold change would be applied on a going forward basis. TDSPs’ concerns were expressed of how mass changes to their current IDR Required population may impact their current rate structure and their application of 4CP. ERCOT’s concerns were expressed:Applying new threshold changes retroactively across current population of BUSIDRRQ ESI IDs would have a Load Forecasting impact that would require a new profile assignment in order to maintain forecasting integrity, There could be negative impacts to Demand Response and DR products currently available to AMS ESI IDs and;Possible negative impacts created if large volumes of ESI IDs are transitioned from current 4CP designations.

WebEx OnlyQuestion: IF Threshold is raised do Market Participants and ERCOT have a preferred threshold limit?Question
: IF Threshold is raised should the threshold change apply to IDR meters on a going forward basis following necessary protocol(s)/guide(s) language
final approval
? Based upon Workshop IV’s Market discussions, we have come to the following: Conclusion: Raise the IDR Meter Protocol Requirement Threshold from 700 kW to 1.5MW* Note: Oncor and CenterPoint Energy verified company’s position on 1.5MW limit were both neutral positions. New Threshold limit would be applied to qualifying ESI IDs that meet the new threshold on a going-forward basis. 3Slide4

WebEx OnlyWorkshop IV Action Items
:
TDSPs
: Chris Rowley (Oncor) volunteered to start the TDSP(s) Matrix to memorialize each TDSP’s process of:How new threshold would be applied to qualifying ESI IDs? Will existing ESI IDs currently BUSIDRRQ profiles be grandfathered in? How would Customer(s) requesting IDR removal that no longer qualify under new threshold limits be processed?At what point would or does 4CP apply? ERCOT and K. Scott: Identify ERCOT Nodal Protocols and/or Market Guides where language will need to be modified to bring forward to Workshop V for Market Participant’s reviews, discussions and consensus. Work in Progress. K. Scott: Scheduled IDR Meter Protocol Requirement Threshold Workshop V on May 5, 2015 at 1:30 PM following RMS meeting. http://www.ercot.com/calendar/2015/5/5/59434-COPS-RMS-WORKSHOPS
