NOTICE DATE:  April 30, 2008

NOTICE TYPE:  W-A043008-01   Settlements

CLASSIFICATION: Public

SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Corrupt data in calculations of price adjustments for Non-Spinning Reserve Service

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  QSEs

DAY AFFECTED:  Operating Day April 22, 2008

LONG DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT has discovered that a number of files used to yield the price adjustments for Non-Spinning Reserve Service for Operating Day April 22, 2008 (intervals 1645 through 2115) included corrupt data.  The price adjustments posted April 23, 2008 were related to Market Clearing Prices for Energy (MCPEs) adjustments required as a result of the Protocol changes implemented by PRR 650, Balancing Energy Price Adjustment Due to Non-Spinning Reserve Service Deployment.  In light of the corrupt data, ERCOT will restore the MCPEs to their original values, then recalculate and repost the validated price adjustments once these data files are restored and the underlying data verified.

The Initial Settlements Statements for April 22, 2008 (intervals 1645 through 2115), will use the originally posted (non-adjusted) Balancing Energy Service MCPEs for the affected intervals.  After ERCOT validates the data and recalculates the MCPEs, future Settlements will use the adjusted prices.
