NOTICE DATE:  May 29, 2009
NOTICE TYPE: M-C052909-01 TCR
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Change in the delivery of TCR Revenue Allocation
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  QSEs
DAY AFFECTED:  June 1, 2009
LONG DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT Client Services provides an email sent on or prior to the 15th of each month, to Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSE) with Load for the amount that will be received by the QSE based on the Transmission Congestion Right (TCR) Revenue Allocation. These TCR Revenue Allocation emails contain similar information to the QSE Settlement statements found on Texas Market Link (TML). These files are the result of a manual process and are currently emailed to Market Participants.
In order to increase the efficiency, timeliness and security of the delivery of these files, ERCOT will begin posting these files on TML in a folder marked MISCELLANEOUS in each QSE's folder. The MISCELLANEOUS folder will only appear once data has been posted in it, and then remain visible. Once the transition is complete, all TCR Revenue Allocation files will be delivered through this method only.
Posting TCR Revenue Allocation files to the MISCELLANEOUS folder will remain on the same schedule used currently.
ACTION REQUIRED:  ERCOT will cease email delivery of these files on June 1, 2009. ERCOT has posted a test file in each QSE's TML folder. Please ensure that you are able to download and read this file as appropriate. The naming convention of the file is as follows:
MSC.<Post Date>. <MP Number>_<MP Name>_<Auction Month>.XLS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  The MISCELLANEOUS folder will be found in the QSE's TML list of folders. Access to this folder will require a Digital Certificate with the "Reports" role assigned. If you don't already have a Digital Certificate and require access, please contact your company's User Security Administrator (USA).
The MISCELLANEOUS folder will also be used to post other files such as ad-hoc settlement invoices and supporting files.
All files posted to the MISCELLANEOUS folder will remain visible for 30 days before rolling off.
CONTACT:  If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via e-mail at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
