RFP


Target date for execution of MRA Agreement(s) has been changed from October 7, 2016, to October 12, 2016.

*         Eliminated tabs to list sites for each month of the MRA.

*         Additional detail and clarifications related to MRA Settlements (Sections 1.7.1 and 1.7.2).

*         Clarifications regarding payments for supply-side MRA Resource start-up, and details around start-up requirements (Section 2.1.1.2).

*         Clarification that demand response MRA Resources may be deployed by ERCOT no more than once per day (Section 3.2.1.1).

*         Clarifications regarding payment adjustments for DR MRA Resources (Section 3.10).
