LONG DESCRIPTION: On December 11,
2007, the ERCOT Board approved Load Profiling Guide Revision Request (LPGRR) 026
which proposed changing the ERCOT production system to generate and publish
forecasted and backcasted Load Profiles with three digits to the right of the
decimal point (currently published with two digits to the right of the decimal
point) for the following Load Profile Types:
BUSNODEM
RESHIWR
RESLOWR
The affected
forecasted Load Profiles will be published with the three digits to the right of
the decimal point beginning August 1, 2008.
On August 2, 2008,
ERCOT will publish the affected backcasted Load Profiles for Operating Day
August 1, 2008 with the three digits to the right of the decimal
point.
The corresponding
Load Profile Model spreadsheets (v2.2) are part of the Load Profiling Guide and
are posted at http://www.ercot.com/mktrules/guides/loadprofiling/current.html, under Load Profiling Guide Appendix E (Effective on August, 1,
2008).
ACTION
REQUIRED: Market
Participants may need to take steps to ensure that their replication of the
ERCOT Load Profile Models (i.e., BUSNODEM, RESHIWR, and RESLOWR) round the final
15-minute interval values to three digits to the right of the decimal
point. Those who reference Load
Profiling Guide Appendix E: Profile Model Spreadsheets need to download the
latest version from http://www.ercot.com/mktrules/guides/loadprofiling/current.html.
