Workshop VSummary of significant discussion points:

Concerns

expressed on the elimination of the mandatory IDR Meter threshold

:Unknown impacts to TDSP’s 4CP Tariffs, Invoicing and Load ResponseImpact on ERCOT’s Load Forecasting processes, unless these loads are identified by a new profile assignmentNote that the Task Force participants indicated a desire that new profile codes not be introduced due to the cost impacts to their organizations resulting from IT development, testing and implementation of multiple new Load Profiles when that may not be the best use of budget dollars.  Establishing a separate threshold for the evaluation of NON-IDR metered premise and AMS metered premise.

Concern that language would be confusing to manage.Recognition that the majority of premises have AMS meters and the subset of non-IDR metered premises are very limitedUnderstanding and willingness

during IDR Required Threshold Workshop V to have any non-IDR with a demand up to 1.5 MW/MVA settled on a load profile Draft NPRR redlined during Workshop V:
